Answer :

(a) The initial velocity is, 14.8 m/s

(b) The acceleration is, [tex]-2.33m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]     ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 0 s

u = initial velocity

t = time = 6.35 s

a = acceleration

The equation 1 will be:

[tex]0=u+a(6.35}[/tex]

[tex]u=-6.35a[/tex]       ..........(2)

By the 2nd equation of motion,

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]     ...........(3)

where,

s = distance = 47 m

Now substitute equation 2 in 3, we get:

[tex]47=(-6.35a)\times (6.35)+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (6.35)^2[/tex]

By solving the term, we get:

[tex]a=-2.33m/s^2[/tex]

The acceleration is, [tex]-2.33m/s^2[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the initial velocity.

Using equation 2, we gte:

[tex]u=-6.35a[/tex]

[tex]u=-6.35s\times (-2.33m/s^2)[/tex]

[tex]u=14.8m/s[/tex]

The initial velocity is, 14.8 m/s
