A rabbit running 2.00 m/s [W] accelerates at a rate of 0.500 m/s? [W] for 1.50 s. The rabbit's final

velocity is

m/s [W].

Record your answer to three significant digits.

Answer: 2.75 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity of rabbit = 2.00 m/s

Final velocity of rabbit = ? (let unknown be Z)

Time taken for rabbit = 1.50 seconds

Acceleration of the rabbit = 0.5 m/s^2

Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time

i. e Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial velocity) / Time taken

0.50 = (Z - 2.00) / 1.50

Make (Z - 2.00) the subject formula

(Z - 2.00) = 0.50 x 1.50

Z - 2.00 = 0.75

Z = 0.75 + 2.00

Z = 2.75 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the rabbit is 2.75 m/s
