A trolley accelerates from rest at 3.0 m/s² for 4.0 s. How far does it travel?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 24 m
- Step 1: Use with .
- Step 2: m.
Answer
24 m.
Why not the others: 12 m: the factor was applied twice. 48 m: the factor was missed. 36 m: was calculated with the wrong index.
