A cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is the cat's displacement during this motion?
A. 6m
B. 2.5 m
C. 8.5 m
D. 4.5 m
20
А
B
D​

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

          x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

          x = 2²/(2 0.8)

         x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B
