An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time?

But use this formula with the steps: x = xo + vo t + ½ a t 2

Answer:

675m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Acceleration = 6m/s²

Time = 15s

Unknown:

Distance traveled by the body = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem; we use the expression;

S = ut +
(1)/(2)at²

Where u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the temperature

Insert the parameters and solve;

S = 0 x 15 +
(1)/(2) x 6 x 15²

S = 675m
