A giant armadillo moving northward with a constant acceleration covers the distance between two points 60 m apart in 6 seconds. Its velocity as it passes the second point is 15m/s.

 a = 1.66 m /s²

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise

       v = v₀ + a t

        x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

we solve for the initial velocity in the first equation and substitute in the second

       v₀ = v - at

        x = (v- at) t + ½ a t²

        x = vt - a t² + ½ a t²

        x = v t - ½ a t²

we seek acceleration

       a = (v t -x) 2 / t²

let's calculate

        a = (15 6 - 60) 2/6²

        a = 1.66 m /s²

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
