The initial velocity of the car is 11 m/s.
Explanation:
- Here, we can use the equations of motions.
- The first of equation of motion is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
- The given parameters are,
Final velocity, v = 20 m/s
acceleration of the care, a = 2 m/
time, t = 3 s
Initial velocity, u = ?
- Hence, the equation can be written as u = v - at
once you substitute all these vales, you will get u = 11 m/s
Answer:
v_kyle = 0.5 m/s
v_jennies = 0.333 m/s
Kyle's Rabbit was the fastest
Explanation:
For the velocity of Kyle's Rabbit:
d = distance covered = 40 m
t = time taken = (1 min)(60s/1 min) + 20 s = 80 s

<u>v_kyle = 0.5 m/s</u>
For the velocity of Jennies Rabbit:
d = distance covered = 30 m
t = time taken = (1 min)(60s/1 min) + 30 s = 90 s

<u>v_jennies = 0.333 m/s</u>
It is clear from the results that:
<u>Kyle's Rabbit was the fastest</u>
