Answer:

Final velocity = 19 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity (u) = 4 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 30 s

Final velocity (v) = ?

In this question, you must use the formula:

v = u + at

Substitute the values into the formula.

v = 4 + (0.5 × 30)

v = 4 + 15

v = 19 m/s
