I really need help please if you know how to do this please help me

OpenStudy (kropot72):

From the graph the acceleration is -6 m/s^2. You need to use the following equation to find the displacement: \[\large y=v _{0}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}\] where y is displacement in meters, a is the acceleration and t is the time in seconds. In this case v(0) is zero.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

is it 180?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

did I do it correctly? @kropot72

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[\large y=\frac{1}{2}\times-10\times6^{2}=-180\ m\]
