Question

I am not sure if I used to correct formula for the followingquestion: A skier, starting from rest, reaches a speed of 16.0 m/s whengoing down a slope for 8.0s. How far does the skier travel inthis time?    x=vt    x=16.0m/s(8.0s)    x=128 m Would this be correct or would I need to use the followingformula X=1/2(Vo=Vf)t Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

Average speed v = ( 0+16 ) / 2 = 8 m / s time t = 8 s So, distance moved in this time interval x = v t                                                                =64 m
