Q108 / 270 · NDA 2016 (Phase 1) · General Ability

A racing car accelerates on a straight road from rest to a speed of $50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ in 25 s . Assuming uniform acceleration of the car throughout, the distance covered in this time will be

  • Correct answer
    A
    625 m
  • B
    1250 m
  • C
    2500 m
  • D
    50 m

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{a}=\mathrm{v} / \mathrm{t}=50 / 25=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\ & \mathrm{~S}=\mathrm{Ut}+1 / 2 \mathrm{at}^2 \\ & =0+1 / 2 \times 2 \times 25 \times 25 \\ & =625 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
