Asperm whale can accelerate at about 0.080 m / s2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. how far will a whale travel if it starts at a speed of 1.0 m / s and accelerates to a speed of 2.57 m / s? assume the whale travels in a straight line.

In this question, you are given the initial speed(1 m/s), final speed (2.57m/s) and the acceleration rate( 0.08 m/s2). From this information, you could determine the duration that the whale swimming. The calculation would be:
Duration of swiming= (final speed - initial speed)/acceleration rate 
Duration of swiming= (2.57m/s - 1 m/s) / 0.08m/s^2= 19.625 second.

Knowing the duration, you can determine the whale swimming distance by using this formula:
whale swimming distance= average speed * duration= (2.57m/s +1m/s)/2 * 19.625s= 35.030625 meter.
