An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time? Use this formula to solve: x = xo + vo t + ½ a t 2

The object will travel 675 m during that time.

Explanation:

A body moves with constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m) when the path is a straight line, but the velocity is not necessarily constant because there is an acceleration.

In other words, a body performs a u.a.r.m when its path is a straight line and its acceleration is constant. This implies that the speed increases or decreases uniformly.

In this case, the position is calculated using the expression:

x = xo + vo*t + ½*a*t²

where:

In this case:

Replacing:

x= 0 + 0*15 s + ½*6 *(15s)²

Solving:

x=½*6 *(15s)²

x=½*6 *225 s²

x= 675 m

The object will travel 675 m during that time.

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
