Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that relates final velocity to initial velocity, acceleration, and time is


v_f=v_0+at which states that the final velocity of an object is equal to the initial velocity plus the acceleration times the time. Filling in this formula with our givens:


v_f=(17m)/(s)+(3.5m)/(s^2)(15s) which gives us


v_f=20.5(m)/(s)
