Answer

(a) $2.06~m/s$ (b) $9.83~m$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $v_{avg}=\frac{v_i+v_f}{2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_{avg}=\frac{0+4.12m/s}{2}=2.06m/s$ (b) The required distance can be determined as: $d=a_{avg}t$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=(2.06m/s)(4.77s)$ $d=9.83m$
