Kinematics - acceleration in a straight line

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the kinematics of a car accelerating in a straight line, starting from rest. The car covers a distance of 2.0 meters in the first second, resulting in a velocity of 2.0 m/s at the end of that second. The acceleration is calculated as 2.0 m/s², leading to a final velocity of 4.0 m/s at the end of the second second. The distinction between distance covered and speed is clarified, confirming that the car's speed is indeed 4.0 m/s after two seconds.

PREREQUISITES

A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate in a straight line. In the first second, the car covers a distance of 2.0 m. How fast will the car be moving at the end of the second second?

Xo(1) = 0
X(1) = 2.0 m
Vo(1) = 0
V(1) = 2.0 m/s
t(1) = 1.0 s

Thus, V(1) = Vo(1) + a(1)*t(1)
a(1) = V/t
= (2.0 m/s)/1.0 s
= 2.0 m/s^2

Since constant velocity,

Vo(2) = 2.0 m/s
a(2) = 2.0 m/s^2
t(2) = 1.0 s

V(2) = Vo + at
=2.0 m/s + (2.0m/s^2)(1.0 s)
= 4.0 m/s

Can anybody confirm or refute this please?

The question says the car covers a distance of two metres, not has a speed of 2m/s.
