An object with an initial velocity of 12 m/s west experiences a constant acceleration of 4 m/s² west for 3 seconds. During this time the object travels a distance of: A) 12 m B) 24 m C) 36 m D) 54 m E) 144 m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance traveled can be calculated using the equation: distance = initial velocity * time + 0.5 * acceleration * time^2. Substituting the given values: distance = 12 m/s * 3 s + 0.5 * 4 m/s^2 * (3 s)^2 = 36 m + 18 m = 54 m.
