What is the velocity of the basketball after rolling for 14\,\text m14m14, start text, m, end text?

Answer 1

1.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1.4 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation

`v^2-u^2=2as`

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the basketball in this problem, we have

u = 4.0 m/s

`a=-0.50 m/s^2`

s = 14 m

Solving for v, we find the final velocity:

`v=√(u^2+2as)=√(4.0^2+2(-0.50)(14))=1.4 m/s`
