To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.
By definition we know that the position of a body is given by
Where
Initial position
Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t= time
And the velocity can be expressed as,
Where,
For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then
With our values we have 
, rearranging to find a,
Therefore the final velocity would be
Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s
Answer:
65.87 s
Explanation:
For the first time,
Applying
v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance
From the question,
Given: u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m
Substitute these values into equation 1
v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)
v² = 238.8
v = √238.8
v = 15.45 m/s
Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is
t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2
t = (15.45-0)/1.99
t = 7.77 s
For the final 40 meter,
t = (v-u)/a
Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²
Substitute into the equation above
t = (0-15.45)/-0.266
t = 58.1 seconds
Hence total time taken to cover the distance
T = 7.77+58.1
T = 65.87 s
