The acceleration is obtained as 6.1 m/s^2 while the distance is obtained as 79.4 m.
The term acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Now we know that the acceleration ca be determined by the use of the formula;
a = v - u/t
a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time taken
Thus;
a = 37 - 20/2.8
a = 6.1 m/s^2
Given that;
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
s = v^2 - u^2/2a
s = (37)^2 - (20)^2/2(6.1)
s = 969/12.2
s= 79.4 m
