The body begins to move uniformly in the positive direction of the Ox axis with its speed, the modulus

The body begins to move uniformly in the positive direction of the Ox axis with its speed, the modulus of which is v = 3.40 m / s from the point with the coordinate x1 = 1.50 m. Determine the coordinate of the body after a time interval Δt = 5.00 s

Given:

x1 = 1.5 m – the initial coordinate of the body;

V = 3.4 m / s – body speed;

t = 5 s – movement time.

It is required to find the coordinate of the body X in time t.

Since the body moves in the positive direction along the X axis, then

x = x1 + V * t = 1.5 + 3.4 * 5 = 1.5 + 17 = 18.5 meters.

Answer: in 5 seconds the body will be at the x = 18.5 meters coordinate.
