Question

A car is moving at 25.5 m/s when it accelerates at 1.94 m/s^2 for 2.3 s. What is the car's final speed? (Keep in mind direction and round to 2 decimals)

Answer 1

29.96m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed = 25.5m/s

Acceleration = 1.94m/s²

Time = 2.3s

Unknown:

Final speed of the car = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the right motion equation:

v = u + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Now insert the parameters and solve;

v = 25.5 + (1.94 x 2.3) = 29.96m/s
