A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.0900 m/s 2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will a sperm whale travel if it starts at a speed of 0.700 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.18 m/s? Assume the whale travels in a straight line.

    s = 23.68 m

    Explanation:

    given,

    acceleration of the sperm whale = 0.09 m/s²

    initial speed of the whale, u = 0.7 m/s

    final speed of the whale, v = 2.18 m/s

    Distance traveled by the sperm whale = ?

    Using equation of motion

    v² = u² + 2 a s

    2.18² = 0.7² + 2 x 0.09 x s

    0.18 s = 4.2624

    s = 23.68 m

    Distance traveled by the whale is equal to s = 23.68 m
