Question

The puppy then goes home and is sitting on the couch when she sees her

chew toy. She accelerates towards the chew toy at 5 m/s2 and it takes
the puppy 10 s to reach the toy. What is the velocity of the puppy when
it reaches its toy?

Answer 1

50m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 5m/s²

Time = 10s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the puppy = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time taken. The puppy has an initial velocity of 0m/s.

The formula is:

Acceleration =
`(Final velocity - Initial velocity )/(time)`

5 =
`(Final velocity - 0 )/(10)`

Final velocity = 50m/s
