A deer walking at 3.29 m/s speeds up to 13.38 m/s, covering a distance of 63.5 meters during this acceleration. How much time did it take him to do this?

Respuesta :

Assuming the deer's acceleration was constant, we have

[tex]\Delta x=\dfrac{v_f+v_0}2t[/tex]

where [tex]\Delta x[/tex] is the deer's total displacement, [tex]v_f,v_0[/tex] are the deer's final and initial velocities, and [tex]t[/tex] is time. Then

[tex]63.5\,\mathrm m=\dfrac{13.38\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+3.29\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}2t[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=7.62\,\mathrm s[/tex]
