Explanation:
Given that,
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s
- Time taken (t) = 1 minute = 60 seconds
In order to find the distance travelled, firstly we need calculate the acceleration.
→ v = u + at
→ 20 = 0 + 60a
→ 20 = 60a
→ 20 ÷ 60 = a
→ ⅓ m/s² = a
Now, by using the 2nd equation of motion :
→ s = ut + ½at²
→ s = 0(60) + ½ × ⅓ × (60)²
→ s = ⅙ × 3600
→ s = 1 × 600
→ s = 600 m
Hence, the distance travelled is 600 m.
