Answer:
Roughly 25 meters
Explanation:
Use the formula D=1/2*a*t^2 where d=distance, a=acceleration, and t=time
Plug in all the variables we know...
D=1/2*a*12^2
in order to solve for acceleration, we use the formula F=ma where F=force, m=mass, and a=acceleration.
Plug in known variables,
342N=989kg*a
solve for a and we get...
342N/989kg=a
Now that we know the acceleration, we can plug that into our original equation and solve for distance.
D=1/2*342N/989kg*12s^2
Simplify,
D=72s^2*342N/989kg
D=72s^2*342kgm/s^2/989kg
D=72s^2*342m/s^2/989
D=72*342m/989
D=24624/989 meters, or 24.898meters which rounds up to 25.
