We are given:_______________________________________________
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
acceleration (a) = 0.8 m/s²
time interval (t) = 8 seconds
final velocity (v) = v m/s
distance travelled (s) = s m
Solving for the final velocity:___________________________________
We know that:
v = u + at [first equation of motion]
v = 0 + (0.8)(8) [replacing the variables]
v = 6.4 m/s
Hence, the final velocity is 6.4 m/s
Solving for the distance travelled:_______________________________
We know that:
s = ut + 1/2(at²) [second equation of motion]
s = (0)(8) + 1/2(0.8)(8)(8) [replacing the variables]
s = 1/2(6.4*8)
s = 25.6 m
Hence, the distance travelled is 25.6 m
