\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: v = 13 \:\: m/s

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :


  • \texttt{Initial speed of the car (u) = 3 m/s}


  • \texttt{final speed of the car (v) = ??}


  • \texttt{acceleration of the car (a)= 2 m/s²}


  • \texttt{distance covered in that time (s) = 40 m}

By third equation of motion :


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: {v}^(2) = {u}^(2) + 2as


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: {v}^(2) = (3) {}^(2) + 2(2)(40)


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: {v}^(2) = 9 + 160


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: {v}^(2) = 169


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: v = 169


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: v = 13

so, speed of the car after that time is : 13 m/s
