Given:

The initial velocity of the skateboarder is


v_i=\text{ 2 m/s}

The acceleration is


a=\text{ 3 m/s}^2

The time taken is t = 4 s

Required: The final speed of the skateboarder.

Explanation:

The final velocity can be calculated by the formula,


v_f=v_i+at

On substituting the values, the final velocity will be


\begin{gathered} v_f=2+(3*4) \\ =14\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The final velocity of the skateboarder after 4 s is 14 m/s.
