I know the acceleration due to gravity (ie 9.8 m/s2) will have a negative sign when falling down, a positive one when going up.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Accerelation is measured by change in velocity. So naturally, if an object is slowing down, its velocity is decreasing so acceleration is negative. If it is speeding up velocity is increasing so positive acceleration.

(Velocity final - Velocity initial)/t

Note that this does not apply only to gravity, but to all linear accelerations

A boy sledding down a hill accelerates at 1.40 m/s². If
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: He would reach 7m/s at the distance of 17,5m.

Explanation: In order for us to know how long it takes for the speed to be reached, we use the equation V= Vo + at, with V=7m/s, Vo= 0m/s since you start from rest and a=1.4m/s². T is the time in seconds that we want to find out.

7 = 0 + 1.4t

7 = 1.4t

t= 5s

Now, we want to know the distance this boy reaches in 5 seconds, in a 7m/s speed and accelarating in 1.4m/s². For finding this out, we use another equation, S = So + Vot + (at²)/2, S being the final distance, So = 0m because he started from rest, and the other variables used before.

S = 0 + 0*5 + [1.4*(5²)]/2

S = 0 + 0 + (1.4*25)/2

S = 35/2

S = 17,5m
