Question

unit 2 test: forces and motion (10/15)
an object rolls east at a steady velocity of 12 m/s for 3.0 seconds. what distance did it travel?
36m
24m
15m
4m

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for distance

The formula for distance \(d\) when velocity \(v\) and time \(t\) are known is \(d = v\times t\).

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(v = 12\space m/s\) and \(t=3.0\space s\). Substitute into the formula: \(d=(12\space m/s)\times(3.0\space s)\).

Step3: Calculate the result

\(d = 12\times3=36\space m\)

Answer:

36m
