Another Math problem?

Vi = 18.5m/s

Vf = 46.1m/s

t = 2.47s

Solve for acceleration and distance

I got a = 11.2m/s² and d = 80.06m

Did I get it right?

    Vf=Vi+at

    46.1=18.5+a(2.47)

    a(2.47)=46.1-18.5 , a=11.174 m/sec^2

    D=1/2at^2+Vi *t

    D=1/2(11.174)(2.47)^2+(18.5)(2.47)=79.78 m

    God bless you.

  • acceleration = ( Vf - Vi ) / t

    acceleration = ( 46.1m/s - 18.5m/s ) / 2.47s

    acceleration = ( 27.6m/s ) / 2.47s

    acceleration = 11.2m/s^2

    Distance = Vi*t + 0.5*a*t^2

    Vi = 18.5m/s, t = 2.47s, a = 11.2m/s^2

    Distance = ( 18.5m/s )*( 2.47s ) + 0.5*(11.2m/s^2 )*(2.47s)^2

    Distance = 45.695m + 34.165m

    Distance = 79.86m ~ 80m

    So yeah, you're right.
