Question

17. A car traveling initially at 5.5 mis accelerates at a rate of 1.2 m/s's for 23 seconds. What is its velocity at the

end of the acceleration?

Answer 1

33.1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

`v=v_(o) + at` where v is final velocity of the car
`v_(o)` is initial velocity of the car, a is acceleration due to gravity and t is time taken by the car. The final velocity is the velocity at the end of acceleration.

In this question,
`v_(o)`= =5.5m/s, t=23 seconds, a=
`1.2m/s^(2)`

Substituting the above figures into the equation we obtain

v=5.5+(1.2*23)=33.1 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car at the end is 33.1m/s
