Answer:
325.125m
Explanation:
We can use the kinematics equations to solve this problem.
Given:
u = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s
v = Final Velocity = 76.5 m/s
t = 8.5 s
We can use the first kinematics equation to find the acceleration:
v = u + at
76.5 = 0 + 8.5a
a = 76.5 ÷ 8.5
[tex] = 9\frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } [/tex]
Since we now have the acceleration, we can use the third kinematics equation to find the distance travelled:
[tex]s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2} \\ s = (0)(8.5) + \frac{1}{2} (9) {(8.5)}^{2} \\ = 325.125m[/tex]
