Answer

3. Substitute the known values and solve for acceleration: 144=0(11)+12a(11)2a=288(11)2a2.3766 m/s2

Steps

Step 1 :1. Identify the knowns and unknowns: initial velocity v0=0 m/s, time t=11 s, distance d=144 m, and we need to find acceleration a.

Step 2 :2. Choose the appropriate kinematic equation: d=v0t+12at2.

Step 3 :3. Substitute the known values and solve for acceleration: 144=0(11)+12a(11)2a=288(11)2a2.3766 m/s2
