Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a classic acceleration problem in one dimension. Use the equation


a=(v_f-v_0)/(t) where a is the acceleration of he car, vf is the final velocity (and our unknown), v0 is the initial velocity, and t is time in seconds. Filling in:


2=(v_f-22)/(7) and

14 = vf - 22 and

36 = vf (not quite right with the sig dig's but I'm guessing you're not really into the specifics much, judging by the acceleration and the time values)
