A n o b j e c t h a s a c o n s t a n t

a c c e l e r a t i o n a = 4 {m s}^{- 2} . I t s v e l o c i t y

i s 1 m / s a t t = 0, w h e n i t i s a t x = 7 m .

H o w f a s t i s i t a t x = 8 m ? A t w h a t

v (t) = v_{0} + a t

x (t) = x_{0} + v_{0} t + \frac{1}{2} a t

w h e r e x_{0} = 7 m, v_{0} = 1 m / s .

8 = 7 + 1 \times t + \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^{2}

\Rightarrow 2 t^{2} + t - 1 = 0

\Rightarrow t = \frac{- 1 + \sqrt{1^{2} + 4 \times 2 \times 1}}{4} = 0.5 s

\Rightarrow v = 1 + 4 \times 0.5 = 3 m / s

\Rightarrow a t x = 8 m, i t s s p e e d i s 3 m / s a n d

t h e t i m e i s 0.5 s e c o n d .
