Your car is initially at rest when your hit that gas and the car begins to accelerate at a rate of 2.857 m/s/s. The acceleration lasts for 15.5 s. What is the final speed of the car and how much ground does it cover during this acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Vf = 44.56 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following expression of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 2.857 [m/s^2]

t = time = 15.5 [s]

Note: the initial velocity is equal to zero as the car begins its movement from rest, or with an initial velocity equal to zero.

Vf = 0 + (2.875*15.5)

Vf = 44.56 [m/s]
