Answer:
Explanation:
a) Velocity increased at the rate of 0.40 m/s^2 for 40 s, so increased by …
(0.40 m/s^2)(40 s) = 16 m/s
The final velocity is …
8 m/s + 16 m/s = 24 m/s
__
b) The average velocity over the 40 s period is (8 m/s +24 m/s)/2 = 16 m/s, so the distance traveled is …
(16 m/s)(40 s) = 640 m
