Question

A bumblebee is flying to the right when a breeze causes the bee to slow down with a constant acceleration of 0.50 m/s2 leftward. After 2.0s, the bee's speed is 2.75m/s to the right.

How fast was the bumblebee flying before the breeze?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

look above lol

Answer 2

3.75 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use equation of motion to solve this. Taking right to be positive,

`v = u + at \\ 2.75 = u + ( - 0.50)(2.0) \\ u = 3.75m {s}^( - 1)`
