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? A)10 m B)55 m C)66 m D)80 m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the equation, 
displacement = initial velocity*time + 1/2*acceleration*time^2 
we have, 
displacement = 5.0 m/s * 6.0 s + 1/2*2.0 m/s^2 * (6.0 s)^2 
displacement = 30.0 m + 36.0 m 
displacement = 66.0 m

Therefore, the cart's displacement during the first 6.0 s of this motion is 66.0 m, which is represented by option C).
