I have a question on acceleration, my name is Michael

Question

If a hockey player starts form rest and accelerates at a rate of 2.1 m/s2 how long does it take him to skate 30 m

Answer 1

Use the equation x = 0.5at² where x is the displacement or change in distance.

After substituting values, you get: 30 = 0.5(2.1)t²

Then solve for t: t = √(30/0.5/2.1)
