Question 45

An engineer is testing a prototype electromagnetic launcher. A sled is accelerated from rest along a straight horizontal track of length, $d$ , in a time, $t$ .

She records the following measurements:

Track length, $5.80\text{ m}$
Time, $0.48\text{ s}$

Calculate the value of the constant acceleration, $a$ , of the sled from these measurements.

Use the equation:

\frac{2d}{t^2}
