Answer:
18 m
Explanation:
Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s
solving for the final velocity, v
v = a * t
v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s
v = 12 m / s
Solving for the average velocity. avg v
avg v = (vo + v) / 2
avg v = (0 m / s + 12 m/s) / 2
avg v = 6 m / s
Solving for the distance traveled after 3 s
d = avg v * t
d = 6 m / s * 3 s
d = 18 meters
In the first 3s the car travels 18 meters.
