Abird experiences an acceleration of -1.80 m/s^2 for 3.81 s, and ends up 26.5 m to the left of its starting point. what is its final velocity?

To solve this problem, we can assume that the motion is linear so that we can use the equations:

Xf = Xi + v0 t + 0.5 a t^2                  ---> 1

vf = v0 + a t                                         ---> 2

where Xi = initial distance = 0, v0 = initial velocity, Xf = final distance = 26.5 m, a = acceleration = - 1.80 m/s^2, t = time = 3.81 s, vf = final velocity

Substituting the given values into equation 1 to find for v0:

26.5 = v0 (3.81) + 0.5 (-1.80 m/s^2) (3.81)^2

3.81 v0 = 39.56449

v0 = 10.38 m/s

Using equation 2 to find for vf:

vf = 10.38 + (-1.80) (3.81)

vf = 3.53 m/s

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
