Question

A race car traveling at 10. meters per second accelerates at 1.5 meters per seconds2 while traveling a distance of 600. meters. The final speed of the race car is approximately

Answer 1

43.58 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The final velocity, initial velocity, distance traveled and acceleration are related by the equation

v² = u² - 2ad [1]

where

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

d = displacement

Given u = 10 m/s, a = 1.5 m/s², d = 600 m

v² = 10 ^2+ 2 x 1.5 x 600

v² = 100 + 1800

v² = 1900

v = √1900 = 43.58 m/s
