Timmy gets a text from his friend, Tony, informing him that Sonic is having a 4F

special on his favorite treat: 50¢ corn dogs. Timmy hops into his truck,
initially at rest, and accelerates at a rate of 1.7m/s^2 towards sonic. When
Timmy reaches a speed of 28 m/ s he arrives at Sonic. How long did it take
him to reach Sonic and his beloved corndogs?

Answer:

16.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Every second Timmy accelerates by 1.7 meters/sec. So we divide 28 by 1.7

= about 16.5 seconds
