Question

An excited squirrel starts from rest and accelerates towards a nut at 1.0 m/s2 for 2.0 seconds. What is the squirrel’s displacement?

Answer 1

`x=8m`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the most suitable kinematic equation for the calculation of the squirrel's displacement is:

`x=v_ot+(1)/(2)at^2`

Whereas the initial velocity is zero as it starts from rest, thus, we obtain:

`x=(1)/(2)*1.0(m)/(s^2)*(2.0s)^2\\ \\x=8m`

Best regards.
