Question

If there is uniform acceleration, determining the distance traveled is a bit more complex. The distance travelled is just the (initial distance from our starting point) plus (how far the distance is changed by the initial velocity times the time) plus a quantity proportional to the acceleration times the time squared). In algebraic form the relationship is s = s0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t^2 Our experimental test deals with distance, not speed. Thus if we want to find the distance traveled by a uniformly accelerating object, we must use this second relationship. Your automobile starts at rest at a stop sign. You accelerate at a uniform rate of 4 m/s for 5 seconds. How far are you from the stop sign at the end of 5 seconds? Question 11 options: 20 meters 40 meters 50 meters 100 meters
