An object starts at position -2m with an initial velocity of -4 m/s and a constant acceleration of +3 m/s^2. a. In which direction is the object traveling initially?
b. What will be the object's velocity after 1s, 2s, 3s?
c. What will the objects position be after 3s?

here is the answer

Explanation:

a) since displacement is given as a negative value, object must travelling i the negative direction (with respect to a cartesian plane).

b) after 1 second

v = u + at

v = -4 + 3× 1

v = -4 + 3

v = -1 m/s

after 2 seconds

v = -4 + 3×2

v = -4 + 6

v = 2 m/s

after 3 seconds

v = -4 + 3×3

v = -4 + 9

v = 5 m/s

c) we need to find the position after three seconds

initial velocity= u= -4m/s

final velocity = v= 5 m/s  ( as previously calculated)

acceleration=3m/s²

s = ut + 1/2 × at²

s = -4×3 + 1/2 × 3×(3)²

s = -12 + 1/2 × 27

s = -12 + 27/2

s = 1.5 meters   ( in the positive direction; as time has increased and acceleration in positive)

position = -2 + 1.5 = -0.5 meters

(s indicates distance travelled)

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
