Susan competes in luge competitions during the winter months. She rides solo on a small sled 3 inches off the ground down icy slopes, turning only by use of her feet and the shifting of her weight on the sled. During the initial stage of one downhill luge, Cynthia accelerated from rest at 5.9 m/s2 for 3.2 seconds. Calculate how far she traveled during this time.

I need this done and I need an explanation as to how I solve this problem step by step. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE BRAINLIEST IF YOU DO NOT SHOW YOUR WORK .

The distance covered is 30.2 m

Explanation:

The motion of Cynthia is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can find the distance covered by using the following suvat equation:

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

In this problem,

u = 0 (since Cynthia started from rest)

t = 3.2 s

[tex]a=5.9 m/s^2[/tex] is her acceleration

Substituting,

[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(5.9)(3.2)^2=30.2 m[/tex]
