Sara is riding her bike down the road at 35 km/hr. She starts to peddle faster as she approaches and rides up a hill. She accelerates at 2.0 km/hr2 for 3.0 minutes before
reaching the top of the hill. How long distance) did it take her to get to the top of the
hill?

Distance covered to top of the hill was : 1.755 km

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 35 km/hr

Acceleration = 2.0 km/hr²

Time taken to accelerate = 3 minutes = 3/60 hours = 1/20 hours

Formula for acceleration : a = Δv /t  

v-u/t    ---where u is initial velocity , v is final velocity and t is time taken for acceleration

v- 35 / 0.05 = 2

v = 35.10 km/h

Formula for distance is product of speed and time

Distance covered = 35.10 * 0.05 = 1.755 km

positive reinforcement? ?

i would say
