A ball with an initial velocity of 2 m/s rolls for a period of 3 seconds. If the ball is uniformly accelerating at a rate of 3 m/s2, what will be the ball’s final velocity?

11 m/s

vinitial=2 m/s

time=3 s

acceleration = 3 m/s^2

vfinal = ?

The key here is that it is a constant acceleration, so we can use the constant acceleration equations. The easiest one to use would be:

vfinal=vinitial + a*t

We need vfinal, so algebraically we are ready to put in numbers into the equation:

vfinal=vinitial + a*t = 2 m/s + (3 m/s^2)*(3 s ) = 11 m/s is the final velocity

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.

c. magnitude and direction
