A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds
Answer:
2.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question above,
Applying equation of motion,
s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1
Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.
make s the subject of the equation,
Given: a = 1.8 m/s², t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)
Substitute these value into equation 1
s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2
s = 1.2(4)/2
s = 2.4 m.
Hence she has traveled 2.4 m
