A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s^2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity of 4.00 m/s after rolling a distance 6.00 m across the floor.
Let the initial velocity of the ball be X.
2*(-0.1)*6 = 4^2 - X^2
=> X^2 = 17.2
=> X `~~` 4.147
The initial speed of the ball was approximately 4.147 m/s
