Answer #1

Given:

  • Acceleration, a = 3 ft/s2
  • Time, t = 10 sec
  • Initial velocity, u = 0 (rest)

Using Newton's second equation of motion,

s = u*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

where s is distance travelled

s = 0*10 + 0.5*3*10^2 = 0 + 150 = 150 ft

Particle moves 150 ft in 10 seconds

Please rate the answer, thanks in advance.
