An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of on a level surface. Under these conditions, it travels 6.00 m. Let’s designate the first 3.00 m as phase 1 with a subscript of 1 for those quantities, and the second 3.00 m as phase 2 with a subscript of 2.
(a) The times for traveling each phase should be related by which condition: (1) t1 < t2, (2) t1 = t2, or (3) t1 > t2?
(b) Now calculate the two travel times and compare them quantitatively.
