Wanda is pushing a stroller and starts from rest, uniformly accelerating at a rate of 0.500 m/s2. What is the velocity of the stroller after it has traveled 4.75m?
vf^2=2*a*distance
To find the velocity of the stroller after it has traveled 4.75 meters, we can use the equation of motion:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
Where:
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity (which is 0 since the stroller starts from rest)
a = acceleration (0.500 m/s^2)
s = distance traveled (4.75 meters)
In this case, the initial velocity (u) is 0, so the equation simplifies to:
v^2 = 0 + 2 * (0.500 m/s^2) * 4.75 m
v^2 = 2.375 m^2/s^2
To solve for velocity (v), we take the square root of both sides:
v = sqrt(2.375 m^2/s^2)
v ≈ 1.542 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the stroller after it has traveled 4.75 meters is approximately 1.542 m/s.
