Question

a car, starting at a position of 0 m and zero speed, moves right with constant acceleration

Answer 1

a car, starting at a position of 0 m and zero speed, moves right with constant acceleration

Answer 2

what would the equation for this? and can you explain

Answer 3

\[x(t)=x_0+{v_x}_0t+\tfrac12a_xt^2\]

The initial position is the origin, ie \(x_0=0\)

The initial velocity is zero too, \({v_x}_0=0\)

Answer 4

the acceleration in the x-direction is some constant \(a_x=a\)

so \[x(t)=\tfrac12at^2\]
