Answer:
[tex] \boxed{\sf Distance \ travelled = 12 \ m} [/tex]
Given:
Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s (Accelerates from rest)
Final speed (v) = 8 m/s
Time taken (t) = 3 seconds
To Find:
Distance travelled by cyclist (s)
Explanation:
From equation of motion of object moving with uniform acceleration in straight line we have:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{s = (\frac{v + u}{2} )t}}[/tex]
By substituting value of v, u & t in the equation we get:
[tex] \sf \implies s = ( \frac{8 + 0}{2} ) \times 3 \\ \\ \sf \implies s = \frac{8}{2} \times 3 \\ \\ \sf \implies s = 4 \times 3 \\ \\ \sf \implies s = 12 \: m[/tex]
[tex] \therefore[/tex]
Distance travelled by cyclist (s) = 12 m
