Question

A race car traveling at 10 meters per second accelerates at 1.5 meters per second squared while moving a distance of 600 meters. Which of the following best represents the final speed of the race car?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 10 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s^2

d = 600 m

vf = ?

Formula

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

Solution

vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600

vf^2 = 100 + 1800

vf^2 = 1900

sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)

vf = 43.59 m/s
