Answer:

30.88m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

kinematic equation or velocity formula

final velocity=initial velocity+(acceleration times time)

vf=vi+at or

vf=u+at

vi=initial velocity=20m/s
a=1.6 m/s^2 (notice acceleration units has seconds squared in it. velocity has just seconds)

t=6.8s

final velocity=initial velocity+(acceleration times time)

vf=vi+at

vf=vi+at

vf=20m/s+(1.6 m/s^2)(6.8s)

vf=20+(1.6*6.8)

vf=20m/s+(10.88m/s) [second cancels out]

vf=20m/s+(10.88m/s) [second cancels out]

vf=30.88m/s
