6. A person starts at rest and accelerates at a uniform rate of at 3.2 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. What distance
does this person cover in that time?

Respuesta :

Answer:

14.4m

Explanation:

u = 0 i.e it started from rest

acceleration (a) = 3.2m/s2

time taken (t) = 3.0s

Using the second equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2at2

s = 0(3.0) + 1/2(3.2)(3.0)2

s = 1.6(9.0)

s = 14.4m

hence the distance covered within that time is 14.4m.
