Question

A car moves according to the equation s = ut +1/2 at2, where s  is the distance in meters , u is the initial velocity in m/sec, a is the acceleration in m/sec2 and t is the time in sec. Given that when t = 3 sec, s = 96.25 m and when t = 10 sec, s = 291. 667 m, determine the following:

  1. The value of u in kph               
  2. The value of a in kph/sec       
  3. The value of s in m when t = 15 sec
