Question

A squirrel starts at rest and accelerates at 2.3 m/s^2 for 5.22 seconds. What is it's final velocity?

Please provide the variable, number, and unit e.g., a= 1.34 m/s^2

Answer 1

12.259 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

An object starting at rest and accelerating at a constant acceleration a for t seconds has a velocity of

`v=at`

If we substitute in the values a = 2.3 m/s² and t = 5.22 s, we get a velocity of

`2.3(5.22)=12.259` m/s
