Question

A dog runs down his driveway with an initial speed of 5 m/s for 8 s, and then uniformly increases his speed to 10 m/s in 5 s.

Answer 1

Acceleration is given by change in velocity divided by change in time, so his acceleration should just be (10-5)/5 which is [tex] \frac{5}{2} \frac{m}{s^{2}} [tex]

The driveway is 40 meters plus 225/4. You can do the math.
