how do i find the distance traveled in 15 seconds by an object moving with a velocity of 20 feet per second

Question

***[isuru]*** · Answer

It's really simple
  U have to use a linear motion equation here
              hence there are no acceleration 
               S = ut  ( S= displacement/distance , U = velocity , t = time)
               S = 20 * 15 s
                  = 300 feet
             
  So the answer is  300 feet which is 91.44 meter's.

 Hope this will help u!

what about when the object moves with a velocity of v(t)=20+7cos(t) ft/sec?

anonymous · Answer

do I plug in 15 into the function for t?

***[isuru]*** · Answer

If the velocity is given by the function
            v(t)=20+7cos(t) [ where t = time]
      u have to substitute the time given in the question , inside to the function v(t) and obtain  a value for the velocity.
      Then u can use the value u got for velocity in any linear motion equation
