Question

An object with a starting velocity of 15 m/s accelerates at 3 m/s2. How far does the object travel within 10 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer: 300 m

Explanation:

`distance(s)=v_it+(1)/(2)at^2 \quad \text{where}\ v_i \text{is initial velocity, a is acceleration, t is time}`

`s=(15)(10)+(1)/(2)(3)(10)^2`

= 150 + 150

= 300
