A cart with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s to the right experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 to the right. What is the cart's displacement during the first 6.0 s of this motion

Answer

66 m

Using the 2nd equation of linear motion, we can be able to solve the problem.

The equation states that;

S = ut + 1/2 at²

Where s ⇒ displacement,

u ⇒ initial velocity,

t ⇒ time and

a ⇒ is acceleration

∴ S = ut + 1/2 at²

= (5 * 6) + (1/2 * 2 * 6²)

= 30 + 36

= 66 m
