Question

Select the correct answer. The time, t, in seconds, required for an object accelerating at a constant rate of a meters/second to travel a distance of d meters is given by this equation. Which equation expresses d in terms of t and a?

a. d=1/2 at²
b. d=at²
c. d=at d.
d=2a​

Answer 1

The correct equation expressing d in terms of t and a is d = 1/2 at².

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation expressing d in terms of t and a is d = 1/2 at² (Option a).

This can be derived from the equation d = vot + 1/2at², where d represents the distance traveled, a is the constant acceleration, t is the time taken, and vo is the initial velocity (which is 0 in this case since the object is starting from rest).
