The Jamaican Bobsled Team is sliding down a hill in a toboggan at a rate of 5 m/s when he reaches an even steeper slope. If he accelerates at 2 m/s2 for the 5 m slope, how fast is he traveling when he reaches the bottom of the 5 m slope?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 5 m

v₀ = 5 m/s

a = 2 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (5 m/s)² + 2 (2 m/s²) (5 m)

v = 6.7 m/s
