Given:
Acceleration = 5.7 m/s^2
Time = 7.2 seconds
Determine the speed.
Formula for acceleration:
a = v/t
v = (t)(a)
a = acceleration
v = velocity
t = time
Solution:
In order to find for v, we simply used the equation for v in terms of a.
v = ta
v = (5.7 m/s^2)(7.2 s)
v = 41.04 m/s
Final answer:
v = 41.04 m/s
