Answer:
xn = 36.28 [m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics, which is ideal for a body that moves with constant acceleration.
[tex]x=x_{0}+(v_{o} *t)+(\frac{1}{2} )*a*t^{2}[/tex]
where:
x - xo = displacement of the car [m]
Vo = initial velocity = 0
t = time = 7.2 [s]
a = acceleration = 1.4 [m/s^2]
The initial velocity is zero, as the car begins its movement from rest.
xn = (x - xo), Now replacing
xn = (0*7.2) + 0.5*1.4*(7.2^2)
xn = 36.28 [m]
