A cart has a velocity of 10.0 meter per second as it moves southward. What is its final velocity after moving 200 meters if it is uniformly accelerating at 2.00 meter per square second?

Answer:

the final velocity of the cart is 30 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the cart, u = 10 m/s

distance moved by the cart, d = 200 m

acceleration of the cart, a = 2.0 m/s²

The final velocity of the cart is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

where;

v is the final velocity

v² = 10² + 2(2)(200)

v² = 900

v = √900

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the cart is 30 m/s
