Question

A ruined in a race decides to accelerate right up to the moment he crosses the line He is the initially travelling at 5m/s and accelerates at 0.4m/s² for 5 sec. find
a) the distance he covers
b) his final velocity​

Answer 1

Answer:

S = V t + 1/2 a t^2 = 5 m/s * 5 s + .2 m/s^2 * 25 s^2 =

25 m + 5 m = 30 m     distance traveled

Vf = V + a t = 5 m/s + .4 m/s^2 * 5 s = (5 + 2) m/s = 7 m/s    final velocity
