Answer: vf = 51 m/s
d = 112 m
Explanation: Solution attached:
To find vf we use acceleration equation:
a = vf - vi / t
Derive to find vf
vf = at + vi
Substitute the values
vf = 3.5 m/s² ( 8.0 s) + 23 m/s
= 51 m/s
To solve for distance we use
d = (∆v)² / 2a
= (51 m/s - 23 m/s )² / 2 ( 3.5 m/s²)
= (28 m/s)² / 7 m/s²
= 784 m/s / 7 m/s²
= 112 m
