Answer:
T = 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 [s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the following kinematics equation and calculate the acceleration value.
Vo = inital velocity = 0
x - xo = 15 [m]
t = time = 2.4 [s]
15 = 0.5*a*(2.4)^2
a = 5.208 [m/s^2]
We can use the same equation to find the time.
30 = 15 + 0.5*(5.208)*t^2
t = 2.4 [s]
T = 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 [s]
