Problem # 1:
Kizaru is a Nav y admiral whi ch is also a logi a t ype devil fruit eater who
possesses li ght beam powers. He can t ravel as fast as the speed of li ght. He
was set to go to marineford wherein the War of the Best will happen which
will include Fi re Fi st Ace, Edward W hitebeard Newgat es, Nav y Admirals,
the 7 Shi chibukai and the great Buggy the Clown. From the Nav y HQ, he
start ed at rest when t=0, therefore V=0 and during the course to m arineford;
his accel eration is best described b y this equation

. When t = 4 sec,

his position is at S = 50m.

a. What is the position of Kizaru when t = 5 sec, in m eters?
b. What is the velocit y of Kizaru when t = 4 sec, in m/s?
c. What is the acceleration of Kizaru when t = 10 sec, in m/s 2 ?
