Question

an object is +2 m from the reference point. the object starts from rest it travels for 3 seconds and has a final position of -16 m. what is the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution

Given:

initial velocity (u)=0m/s (because an object

starts from the rest)

time (t)=3sec

diatance travelled(s)=14m(16-2=14)

acceleration (a)=?

Now,

According to the formula

s=ut+1/2at^2

or,14 =0×3+1/2×a×3^2

or, 14=0+a/2×9

or, 14=9a/2

or, 9a=28

or, a=28/9

or, a=3.1 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 3.1m/s^2 ans.
