A body to which a certain initial velocity has been reported moves uniformly accelerated. In the third second of its movement it passed 10m, and in the sixth - 16m. Determine the acceleration of the body, the initial speed, the speed at the end of the eighth second and the path covered in 8 s. Тело, которому известна определенная начальная скорость, движется равномерно ускоренным. На третьей секунде своего движения он прошел 10 метров, а на шестой - 16 метров. Определите ускорение тела, начальную скорость, скорость в конце восьмой секунды и пройденный путь за 8 с.
