Question

A shopping cart is given an initial velocity of 4 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the cart’s displacement after the first 4 s of its motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

• Initial velocity = 4m/s
• Acceleration = 4m/s²
• Time = 4s
• Displacement = ?

From Second equation of motion ,

$\longrightarrow$ s = ut + 1/2at²

$\longrightarrow$ s = 4*4 + 1/2*4*(4)² m

$\longrightarrow$ s = (16 + 2 * 16) m

$\longrightarrow$ s = ( 16 + 32 )m

$\longrightarrow$ s = 48 m
