Distance from rest with a = 2.0 m/s^2 for 6.0 s
Solution
Problem
Distance from rest with a = 2.0 m/s^2 for 6.0 s
Assumptions: the object starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and acceleration is constant.
Use x = v_i t + (1/2) a t^2.
Because v_i = 0 m/s, x = (1/2)(2.0 m/s^2)(6.0 s)^2.
x = (1/2)(2.0)(36) m
x = 36 m
The object travels 36 m.
Result
36 m
