Question

A turtle accelerates from a stop at 3m/s/s to the South for 8s. What is the turtle’s final velocity? Show your work and include the correct units.

Answer 1

He's accelerating at 3 m/s² .  That means his speed is increasing by 3 m/s every second.At the end of 8 seconds, his speed is (8 x 3 m/s)  =  24 m/s .He's been moving south for the whole 8 seconds.So at the end of that time, his velocity is                          24 m/s south .
