A cart has an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s to the right and 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

The displacement can be calculated using the formula: $ s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 $, where $ u = 5.0 \, \text{m/s} $, $ a = 2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 $, and $ t = 6.0 \, \text{s} $. Substituting these values gives $ s = 5.0 \times 6.0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 2.0 \times (6.0)^2 = 30 + 36 = 66 \, \text{m} $.
