Here,

Time (t) = 2 minutes

             = 2 x 60 = 120 seconds

Inetial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration ( a) = 0.2 m/s2

Distance covered (S) = ?

  We know,

= ut + ½ at2

= 0 x t + ½  x 0.2 x (120)2

= ½ x 0.2 x 14400

= 1440 m

Hence, the distance covered by the vehicle is 1440 m.

Acccording to the question,

Initial velocity (u) = 0,

Acceleration (a) = 0.2 m/s² 

Time taken (t) = 2 minutes = 2 x 60 seconds = 120 s

Distance covered (s) = ?

 

We know,

s = ut + ½ x a x t²

= 0 x 120 + 0.5 x 0.2 x 120 x 120

= 0 + 1440

= 1440 m

Hence, total distance covered is 1464 m
