At time t=0 , a cart is at x=10 m and has a velocity of 3 m/s in the −x -direction. The cart has a constant acceleration in the +x -direction with magnitude 3 m/s^2 < a < 6  m/s^2 . Which of the following gives the possible range of the position of the cart at t=1 s ?

Explanation:

The minimum magnitude of acceleration = 3 m /s²

displacement at t = 1

s = ut + 1 /2 at²

= -3 x 1 + .5 x 3 x 1²

= - 3 + 1.5

= - 1.5 m

position at t = 1 s

= 10 - 1.5

= 8.5 m

The maximum  magnitude of acceleration = 6 m /s²

displacement at t = 1

s = ut + 1 /2 at²

= -3 x 1 + .5 x 6 x 1²

= - 3 + 3

=  0

position at t = 1 s

= 10 +0

= 10  m

So range of position is 8.5 m to 10 m .

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.
