Question

An object initially traveling in a straight line with

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the total distance traveled by the object in the 4 seconds is 36 m.

Explanation:

Given

• Initial velocity u = 5.0 m/s

• Acceleration a = 2.0 m/s²

• Time t = 4 s

To determine

The total distance traveled by the object in the  4.0 seconds is

Important Tip:

We can determine the total distance traveled by the object in the  4.0 seconds by using the equation of motion such as

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

• s = distance
• u = initial velocity
• a = acceleration
• t = time

substituting u = 5.0, a = 2, and t = 4 in the formula

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=\left(5\right)\left(4\right)+\frac{1}{2}\left(2\right)\left(4\right)^2$

$s=20+16$

$s=36$ m

Therefore, we conclude that the total distance traveled by the object in the 4 seconds is 36 m.
