A motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 1.5 m/s2. Starting from rest, how far can it travel in 0.5 seconds?

a. 0.38 m

b. 0.44 m

c. 0.19 m

d. 0.66 m

Here,

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

acceleration (a) = 1.5m/s

time (t) = 0.5s

Now,

distance covered (s) = ut + (1/2) at^2

=0*0.5 + (1/2) * 1.5*0.5*0.5

=0 + (1/2) * 0.375

=0+0.1875

=0.1875 (nearly 0.19)

Hence, 0.19 is correct answer.
