In 11.1d, what would the velocity be 15 s after the start if the acceleration were maintained?

What is the velocity of an object accelerating at 5.0 m/s² after 15 s having started from
rest?

Answer:In physics, the velocity of an object under constant acceleration can be calculated using the following formula:

v = vₒ + at

where vₒ is the initial velocity (assumed to be zero if the object is starting from rest), a is the acceleration, and t is the time elapsed.

If the acceleration were maintained:

v = vₒ + at

v = 0 + (5 m/s²) * (15 s) = 75 m/s

So, the velocity would be 75 m/s after 15 seconds if the acceleration were maintained.

If the object is starting from rest:

v = vₒ + at

v = 0 + (5 m/s²) * (15 s) = 75 m/s

So, the velocity of an object accelerating at 5.0 m/s² after 15 s, having started from rest, would be 75 m/s.
