Answer 1

The final position of an object with a constant velocity can be calculated using the equation:

final position = initial position + (velocity * time)

In this case, the initial position is 2 m, the velocity is 4.5 m/s, and the time is 2 s.
Plugging in the values:

final position = 2 m + (4.5 m/s * 2 s)
final position = 2 m + 9 m
final position = 11 m

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