Question

Five seconds into her run, Selina sees a rabbit and decides to chase it. She accelerates at a rate of 0.1m/s2. What would be her pace at 10s? Show your work.

Answer 1

v = u + at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

v = 0 + (0.1 m/s^2) × 10 s

v = 1 m/s

Therefore, Selina's velocity after 10 seconds of accelerating at 0.1 m/s^2 is 1 m/s.
