Question

Which expression best describes the distance d traveled by the plane during a certain interval of time t? Let s0 and v0 be, respectively, the initial position and speed of the plane, and use m/s2 for the acceleration of the plane. Remember that the plane accelerates from rest.

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression that best describes the distance traveled by the plane is $d(t)=s_{0}+v_{0}*t+\frac{a*t^{2}}{2}$

Explanation:

Hi

Well first of all we have that acceleration is $a=\frac{v-v_{0} }{t}$, so if acceleration is constant we have $v=v_{0} +a*t$ and $d=s_{0} + v$, and finally we get $d(t)=s_{0}+v_{0}*t+\frac{a*t^{2}}{2}$
