An object has a starting position of x = 2 m, a starting velocity of 4.5 m/s, and no acceleration. Which option shows the final position of the object after 2 s?

Answer 1

To find the final position of the object, we need to use the formula for position:

\( \text{Final Position} = \text{Initial Position} + (\text{Initial Velocity} \times \text{Time}) \)

Given:
Initial Position (x₀) = 2 m
Initial Velocity (v₀) = 4.5 m/s
Time (t) = 2 s

Using the formula:

Final Position = 2 + (4.5 × 2)

Final Position = 2 + 9

Final Position = 11 m

Therefore, the final position of the object after 2 s is 11 m.
