A car started from the state of rest. if the acceleration of the car becomes 5m/s² after 10 seconds of moving, what will be its final velocity?

In order to calculate the final velocity, we can use the formula below:


V=V_0+a\cdot t

Where V is the final velocity after t seconds, V0 is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

So, for V0 = 0, a = 5 and t = 10, we have:


\begin{gathered} V=0+5\cdot10 \\ V=50\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The final velocity is 50 m/s.
