A body moves along one dimension with a constant acceleration of 4,65 m/s
over a time interval. At the end of this interval it has reached a velocity of 11.8 m/s.
(a) If its original velocity is 5.90 m/s, what is its displacement (in m) during the time interval?
m
(b) What is the distance it travels (in m) during this interval?
(c) A second body moves in one dimension, also with a constant acceleration of 4.65 m/s , but over some different time interval. Like the first body, its velocity at the end of the interval
is 11.8 m/s, but its initial velocity is -5.90 m/s. What is the displacement (in m) of the secorkd body over this interval?
(d) What is the total distance traveled (in m) by the second body in part (c), during the interval in part (c)?
