A cart with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s to the right experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 to the right. What is the cart’s displacement during the first 6.0 s of this motion

Respuesta :

Answer

66 m

Using the 2nd equation of linear motion, we can be able to solve the problem.

The equation states that;

S = ut + 1/2 at²

Where s ⇒ displacement,

            u ⇒ initial velocity,

            t ⇒ time and

            a ⇒ is acceleration

∴ S = ut + 1/2 at²

       = (5 × 6) + (1/2 × 2 × 6²)

       = 30 + 36

       = 66 m
