Question

An object is moving along the x-axis and its position varies in time according to the expression x = (5.00 m/s2)t2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Determine its position (in m) at t = 2.40 s.

Answer 1

28.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, the position of the body changes with time according to the equation given as

`x=5t^(2)`

(a) The position of the object at t = 2.4 s

Substitute the value of t as 2.4 s in the above expression, we get

`x=5* 2.4^(2)`

x = 28.8 m

Thus, the position of the object at t = 2.4 s is 28.8 m.
