He sees another zombie standing 15 m away from him. If he starts from restand accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s2 until he lunges at the zombie with a flyingkick, with what velocity did he hit the zombie?

We know that

• The distance is 15 meters.

,

• The acceleration is 5 m/s^2.

,

• The initial velocity is zero because he started from rest.

To find the final velocity, we use the following formula.


v^2_f=v^2_0+2ad

Use the given magnitudes, and solve for vf.


\begin{gathered} v^2_f=0^2_{}+2\cdot(5\cdot(m)/(s^2))\cdot15m \\ v^2_f=150\cdot(m^2)/(s^2) \\ v_f=\sqrt[]{150\cdot(m^2)/(s^2)} \\ v\approx12.2\cdot(m)/(s) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the final velocity is 12.2 meters per second.
