Question

problem 9. a giant squid is moving through the pacific ocean with an initial velocity of 11 m/s and accelerates at a rate of 3 m/s² for 19 s. calculate the final velocity of the squid.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

The formula for final - velocity is $v = u+at$, where $v$ is final velocity, $u$ is initial velocity, $a$ is acceleration and $t$ is time.

Step2: Substitute the values

Given $u = 11\ m/s$, $a=3\ m/s^{2}$, $t = 19\ s$. Substitute into the formula: $v=11 + 3\times19$.

Step3: Calculate the result

First, calculate $3\times19=57$. Then, $v=11 + 57=68\ m/s$.

Answer:

$68\ m/s$
