We can use the following equation to solve the problem:
v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s
where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity (which is 0), a is the acceleration, and s is the distance traveled.
v^2 = 0^2 + 2 * 2.3 * 18
v^2 = 0 + 2 * 2.3 * 18
v^2 = 82.8
To find the final velocity, we need to take the square root:
v = sqrt(82.8)
v = 9.1 m/s
So the bear's snout will be going 9.1 m/s when it reaches the honey.
A bear spies some honey and takes off from rest, accelerating at a rate of 2.3 m/s2.v If the honey is 18 m away, how fast will his snout be going when it reaches the treat?
