Answer:
Distance, S = 13m
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, u = 4m/s
Final velocity, v = 9m/s
Time, t = 2 seconds
To find the distance, S;
First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the shark.
Acceleration = (v - u)/t
Acceleration = (9 - 4)/2
Acceleration = 5/2
Acceleration = 2.5m/s²
Now, to find the distance we would use the second equation of motion
S = ut + ½at²
Substituting into the equation, we have
S = 4(2) + ½*2.5*2²
S = 8 + 1.25*4
S = 8 + 5
Distance, S = 13m
