  • Initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Acceleration=0.25m/s^2=a
  • Time=t=3min=180s
  • Final velocity=v

Using 1st equation of kinematics


\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto v=u+at


\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto v=0+0.25(180)


\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto v=45m/s

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 0.25 m/s²

Time (t) = 3 minutes

Final velocity (v) = v

Converting 3 minutes into seconds

  • 1 minute = 60 second

  • 3 minutes = 60 × 3
  • 3 minutes = 180 Seconds

Using 1st equation of motion


\Large\begin{gathered} {\underline{\boxed{ \rm {\red{v \: = \: u \: + \: at}}}}}\end{gathered}

Substuting the values


\bf \large \longrightarrow \: \: v \: = \: 0 \: + \: 0.25 \: \: (180)


\bf \large \longrightarrow \: \: v \: = \:45 \: m/s
