Question

A cart is given an initial velocity of 5.0m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0m/s/s. What is the magnitude of the cart's displacement during the first 6.0s of its motion?

Answer 1

66.0 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the displacement of a cart can be calculated using the equation:

x = x_0 + v_0 * t + 0.5 * a * t^2

So, the magnitude of the displacement during the first 6.0 s of its motion is given by:

x = 0 + 5.0 m/s * 6.0 s + 0.5 * 2.0 m/s^2 * 6.0 s^2

= 30.0 m + 36.0 m

= 66.0 m
