✔ 最佳答案
s = ut + (1/2)at²
For the faster object :
u = 0 m/s
a = a₁
Then, s₁ = 0 + (1/2)a₁t²
s₁ = (1/2)a₁t² …… [1]
For the slower object :
u = 0 m/s
a = a₂
Then, s₁ = 0 + (1/2)a₂t²
s₂ = (1/2)a₂t² …… [2]
[1] - [2] :
s₁ - s₂ = (1/2)(a₁ - a₂)t²
When t = 3 s, s₁ - s₂ = 12 m :
12 = (1/2)(a₁ - a₂)(3)²
a₁ - a₂ = 8/3
Then, s₁ - s₂ = (1/2)(8/3)t²
s₁ - s₂ = (4/3)t²
When t = 6 s :
Distance apart, s₁ - s₂ = (4/3)(6)² m = 48 m
