A block is sliding with constant acceleration down an incline. The block starts from rest at t = 0 and has speed 3.00 m/s after it has traveled a distance 8.00 m from its starting point. (a) What is the speed of the block when it is a distance of 16.0 m from its t = 0 starting point? (b)How long does it take the block to slide 16.0 m from its starting point?
