What path will the body take during uniformly accelerated motion with an acceleration of 0.5 m / s

What path will the body take during uniformly accelerated motion with an acceleration of 0.5 m / s 2 if its speed changes from 20 to 10 m / s?

Task data: a (acceleration) = -0.5 m / s2 (slow motion, since V <V0); V0 (initial velocity of the considered body) = 20 m / s; V (final speed) = 10 m / s.

To determine the distance traveled by the body in question, we use the formula: S = (V ^ 2 – V0 ^ 2) / 2a.

Let’s make a calculation: S = (10 ^ 2 – 20 ^ 2) / (2 * (-0.5) = 300 m.

Answer: The path traversed by the body in question is 300 meters.
