A student releases a marble from the top of a ramp. The marble increases
speed while on the ramp then continues across the floor. The marble
travels a total of 140cm in 4.10s.
What was the marble's final speed?

Help please

Answer:

Vf = 0.68 m/s

Explanation:

First we find acceleration of the marble by using 2nd equation of motion:

s = Vi t + (1/2)at²

where,

s = distance covered = 140 cm = 1.4 m

t = time taken = 4.1 s

Vi = initial Velocity = 0 m/s (since, the marble was initially at rest)

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

1.4 m = (0 m/s)(4.1 s) + (1/2)(a)(4.1 s)²

a = (1.4 m)(2)/(4.1 s)²

a = 0.17 m/s²

Now, we use 1st equation of motion for final velocity (Vf)

Vf = Vi + at

Therefore,

Vf = 0 m/s + (0.17 m/s²)(4.1 s)

Vf = 0.68 m/s
