A snowmobile has an initial velocity of 4.7 m/s.
If it accelerates at the rate of 0.73 m/s2 for 5.6s, what is the final velocity? Answer in units of m/s, If instead it accelerates at the rate of -0.51 m/s2, how long will it take to reach a complete stop? Answer in units of s ...?

Q1. The answer is 8.788 m/s

V2 = V1 + at
V1 - the initial velocity
V2 - the final velocity
a - the acceleration
t - the time

We have:
V1 = 4.7 m/s
a = 0.73 m/s²
t = 5.6 s
V2 = ?

V2 = 4.7 + 0.73 * 5.6
V2 = 4.7 + 4.088
V2 = 8.788 m/s


Q2. The answer is 9.22 s

V2 = V1 + at
V1 - the initial velocity
V2 - the final velocity
a - the acceleration
t - the time

We have:
V2 = 0   (because it reaches a complete stop)
V1 = 4.7 m/s
a = -0.51 m/s²
t = ?

0 = 4.7 + (-0.51)*t
0 = 4.7 - 0.51t
0.51t = 4.7
t = 4.7 / 0.51
t = 9.22 s
