A cart is given an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s².What is the magnitude of the cart's displacement during the first 6.0 s of its motion? A)10 m B)55 m C)66 m D)80 m

Using the kinematic equation:

d = vi*t + 1/2 * a * t^2

where d is displacement, vi is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time

Plugging in the given values:

d = 5.0 m/s * 6.0 s + 1/2 * 2.0 m/s^2 * (6.0 s)^2

d = 30 m + 36 m

d = 66 m

Therefore, the magnitude of the cart's displacement during the first 6.0 s of its motion is 66 m.

The correct answer is C.
