34.6 m/s

Explanation:

Use the equation: d_x=1/2(V_2+V_1)(t)

plug in 4700 m for d_x (4.7 km is 4,700 meters)

Then plug in 6.6m/s for V_1

And plug in 228 s for t (3.8 minutes is 228 seconds)

so your equation should look like this:

4700 m = 1/2(V_2+6.6 m/s)(228)

Divide 4700 m by 228 s, which equals 20.6140350877

then divide by 0.5 and get 41.2280701754 m/s,

then subtract 6.6 m/s from that to get 34.6280701754, or 34.6 m/s

V_"final" = 34.6" m/s"

Explanation:

To find the acceleration, a, use the equation:

d=V_"initial"t+1/2at^2

where V_"initial" = 6.6" m/s", d = 4.7" km" = 4700" m", and t = 3.8" min" = 228" s"

4700" m"=(6.6" m/s")(228" s")+1/2a(228" s")^2

1/2a(228" s")^2=(4700" m"-(6.6" m/s")(228" s"))

a=2(4700" m"-(6.6" m/s")(228" s"))/(228" s")^2

a = 0.12293" m/s"^2

To find the final speed, V_"final", use the equation:

V_"final"=sqrt(V_"initial"^2 +2ad)

V_"final"=sqrt((6.6" m/s")^2 +2(0.12293" m/s"^2)(4700" m"))

V_"final" = 34.6" m/s"
