THE PRACTICE STUDIO
Go slowly. Ask why. Make it yours.
PRACTICE / Constant acceleration
Join two motion stages
A cart starts from rest, accelerates at 2 m/s² for 3 s, then coasts at the acquired speed for 4 s.
Find the total distance.
Organize the givens & assumptions
- a = 2 m/s²
- t₁ = 3 s
- t₂ = 4 s
Straight track; constant acceleration in the first interval and zero acceleration in the second.
- A
- B
- C
- D
