Brenna Arnold · Answer 1

Your initial velocity is 2 m/s. lets call that 'U' and your final velocity is 8 m/s. Lets call that 'V'.

a = (V-U) / t

but we are asked 't' not 'a' so the formula changes to ...

t = (V-U) / a

t = (8-2) / 2

t = 3 sec

Due to the fact that, we are not given a specific displacement (distance)

I have to assume we need to use the two accelerations

Therefore 8m. s/2m. s = 4m. s
