Problem

A car starts from rest at the origin and accelerates with constant components

a_x = 2.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}

east and

a_y = 1.5\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}

north for

6.0\,\text{s}

. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement from the origin at

t = 6.0\,\text{s}

? (a)

63\,\text{m}

(b)

45\,\text{m}

(c)

90\,\text{m}

(d)

65\,\text{m}
