Answer:
[tex]v_i = 1.44\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Explanation:
The computation of the initial velocity of the fly is shown below:-
But before that we need to do the following calculations
For 4.22 seconds
[tex]\bar v = \frac{-5.80 m}{4.22 s}[/tex]
[tex]= -1.37\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
For uniform acceleration
[tex]\bar v = \frac{v_i +v_f}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= v_i + v_f[/tex]
[tex]= -2.74\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
With initial and final velocities
[tex]= -1.33\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{v_i +v_f}{4.22s}[/tex]
[tex]= -v_i + v_f[/tex]
[tex]= -5.61\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
So, the initial velocity is
[tex]v_i = 1.44\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
We simply applied the above steps to reach at the final solution i.e initial velocity
