In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves with a constant acceleration. The following data are collected for the cart. t(s) x(m)
0 0
1 4
2 16
3 36
4 64

The acceleration of the cart is most nearly:

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

Putting, t = 1 s  and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
