Question

A dog playing fetch starts at rest and accelerates at 4.5m/s2 north. It takes the dog 7 seconds to catch the ball. What was the speed of the dog when he caught the ball?

Answer 1

31.5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

acceleration a = 4.5m/s²

Time t= 7secs

Required

Final speed v = ?

Using the equation of motion

v = u+at

v = 0+4.5(7)

v = 31.5m/s

Hence the speed of the dog is 31.5m/s
