Answer 1

The total displacement 560 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

t₀ = 0 s

t = 25 s

V₀ = 10 m/s

V = 35 m/s

___________

D - ?

Acceleration:

a = (V - V₀) / (t - t₀) = (35 - 10) / (25 - 0) = 25 / 25 = 1.0 m/s²

The total displacement:

D = V₀·t + a·t² / 2

D = 10·25 + 1.0·25² / 2 ≈ 560 m
