    Speed equation: speed = total distance/total time

    speed = 40.0m / 8.50s

    speed = 4.71 m/s

    acceleration equation: acceleration = change in velocity/time

    4.71 - 2.80 = 1.91 (change in velocity)

    acceleration = 1.91/8.50

    acceleration =.22 m/s^2

    a) 4.71 m/s

    b).22 m/s^2
