(And don't forget that an object going around a curve at a constant speed is also accelerating.)
I believe there are two reasons:
1). The term is inadequately taught in the American public school system ... along with much of the rest of Science and Math in general.
2). The word became permanently and indelibly corrupted when the automotive industry decided to name the gas pedal the "accelerator".
Answer:
Correct answer: v = 34.98 m/s
Explanation:
The kinetic energy formula is Ek = m v²/2 => v = √2Ek/m
v = √2 · 88.7 / 0.145 = 34.98 m/s
