Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For obects already in motion, the distance travelled, s, is:
s = vi*t + (1/2)at^2
where vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time in seconds.
We want the time, t, to reach 1000 meters.
1000 m = (3 m/s)*t + (1/2)*(0.1m/s^2)*(t^2)
(1/2)*(0.1m/s^2)*(t^2) = 0.05t^2
0.05t^2 + 3t -1000 = 0
Solve quadratic equation:
t = 114.6 seconds
