Answer:
- 0.5 m/s
Explanation:
(1) Acceleration = change in velocity / time
(2) Change in velocity = (Final velocity - Initial velocity)
We know:
acceleration = 1.5 m/s/s
time = 5 seconds
final velocity = 7 m/s
x = initial velocity)
1.5 = ( 7 - x ) / 5
1.5 x 5 = ( 7 - x )
7.5 = 7 - x
x = -0.5 m/s
You can check the answer by plugging in the values to equation (1).
