A car, initially traveling 24.0ft/s, steadily speeds up to 58.0ft/s in 5.40s. Determine all unknowns and answer the following question. How far did the car travel during this time?

acceleration = 6.29 ft^2/s

distance traveled by car = 405 ft

Explanation:

formula 1 : u = v - (a*t)

where u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

a = acceleration

t = time.

solving for acceleration.

24 = 58 - (a*5.4)

a = (58 - 24)/ 5.4

a = 340/ 54 = 6.29 ft^2/s

formula 2: v = d/t - (a*t/2)

58 = d/5.4 - ((340*54)/20)

d = 405 ft

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
