Question

The acceleration of an object can be described by the equation a=2d/t^2, where a is acceleration d is the distance, and t is time. if an object accelerates at a rate of 2(m/s^2) for 10 meters what is the total time elapsed?

Answer 1

To calculate for the time, we use the given equation given as: 

a=2d/t^2

We are given the following:

a = 2
d = 10

We can solve as follows:

a = 2d/t^2
2 = 2(10)/ t^2
t = 3.16 s

Hope this answers the question.
