A ball at rest starts rolling down a hill with a constant acceleration of 3.2 meters/second2. What is the final velocity of the ball after 6.0 seconds?

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

Use \[V_f=V_i+at\]\[19.2m/s=0m/s+(3.2m/s^2)(6.0s)\]

wouldnt "downhill" give us a velocity with a negative indicating direction?

i dont hve a calculatorr and i dont know this .. can u please helpp

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you should have pencil and paper, and the capacity to multiply otherwise use your computer or even the google search engine functions as a calculator

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

@amistre64: I didn't really like the question because It didn't give any info on the height & slope of the hill! I just went with the magnitude of the velocity since I think that was the intent of the question.

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

I guess for your final answer it should be -19.2 m/s
