Answer:
The x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m.
Explanation:
In order to obtain the x-coordinate of the particle, you have to apply the equations for Two Dimension Motion
Xf=Xo+Voxt+0.5axt²(I)
Yf=Yo+Voyt+0.5ayt² (II)
Where Xo, Yo are the initial positions, Xf and Yf are the final positions, Vox and Voy are the initial velocities, ax and ay are the accerelations in x and y directions, t is the time.
The particle starts from rest from the origin, therefore:
Vox=Voy=0
Xo=Yo=0
Replacing Yf=12, Yo=0 and Voy=0 in (I) and solving for t:
12=0+(0)t+ 0.5(1.0)t²
12=0.5t²
Dividing by 0.5 and extracting thr squareroot both sides:
t=√12/0.5
t=√24 = 2√6
Replacing t=2√6, ax=2.0,Xo=0 and Vox=0 in (I) to obain the x-coordinate:
Xf=0+0t+0.5(2.0)(2√6)²
Xf= 24 m
