Answer:

vf=43.55m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

vi=29m/s

S=22m

a=2.4 m/s^2

vf=? we are supposed to find final velocity.

we will use following equation of motion:

Formula:


2as=vf^(2) -vi^(2)

put values


2(2.4)(22)=vf^2-(29)^2\\

solving for
vf^2.

taking
(29)^2 on the other side .


vf^2=2(2.4)(22)+(29)^2

solve square first.


vf^2=2(24)(22)+841

multiply the terms.


vf^2=1056+841

add the terms


vf^2=1897

taking square root on both sides.


√(vf^2)=√(1897)

square root of
vf^2 will be cancelled out .


vf=43.55m/s
