WILL MARK BRAINLIEST A boy sledding down a hill accelerates at
1.29 m/s2
If he started from rest, in what distance
would he reach a speed of 6.87 m/s?
Answer in units of m.

Explanation:

Explanation: In order for us to know how long it takes for the speed to be reached, we use the equation V= Vo + at, with V=6.87m/s, Vo= 0m/s since you start from rest and a=1.29m/s². T is the time in seconds that we want to find out.

6.87 = 0 + 1.29t

6.87 = 1.29t

t= 5.33s

Now, we want to know the distance this boy reaches in 5.33 seconds, in a 7m/s speed and accelarating in 1.29m/s². For finding this out, we use another equation, S = So + Vot + (at²)/2, S being the final distance, So = 0m because he started from rest, and the other variables used before.

S = 0 + 0*5 + [1.29*(5.33²)]/2

S = 0 + 0 + (1.29*28.40)/2

S = 36.64/2

S = 18.32m

the answer would be a
