The position, d, in metres of an object in motion as it travels is given by:

d=(t+1)(t + 0.5)

t is the time in seconds.

this is an equation of motion.

by looking at it, we can learn about how the object started moving.

first, expand the brackets.

(answer here which i don't know and i'm confused about)

the initial velocity is the coefficient of the t term.

what is the initial velocity?
