Question

A snowmobile has an initial velocity of 3 m/s. (a) If it accelerates at 0.5 m/s² for 7 seconds

what is the final velocity? (b) If it then accelerates at -0.6 m/s², how long will it take to
reach a complete stop (assume the starting velocity for the negative acceleration is the
answer from part a)?

Answer 1

Answer: a. 6.5 m/s

b. s=10.83 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 3+7(0.5)=

3+3.5=6.5 m/s

b. s=seconds

6.5-0.6s=0

6.5-0.6s+0.6s=0+0.6s

6.5=0.6s

6.5=3s/5

6.5*5=3s*5/5

3s=32.5

s=32.5/3

s=65/6

s=10.83 seconds
