Question

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time?
But use this formula with the steps: x = xo + vo t + ½ a t 2

Answer 1

Answer:

675m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Acceleration  = 6m/s²

Time  = 15s

Unknown:

Distance traveled by the body = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem; we use the expression;

   S = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$at²

 Where u is the initial velocity

              t is the time

             a is the temperature

         

Insert the parameters and solve;

  S = 0 x 15 + $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 x 15²  

  S = 675m
