Question

An object with a velocity of

1 m s-l accelerates with an
acceleration of 1 m s2.
What is its velocity after
moving 1 m?
A 1.4 ms s-1
B 1.7 m s -1
C) 2.0 m s-
D 3.0 m s-1
-1​

Answer 1

v = 1.7 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 1 m/s

Acceleration of the object, a = 1 m/s²

We need to find the velocity of the object after moving 1 m. Let v be the velocity. Using third equation of kinematics to find it i.e.

`v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v^2=2ad+u^2\\\\v^2=2(1)(1)+1^2\\\\v=\sqrt3\\\\v=1.7\ m/s`

So, the final velocity of the object is 1.7 m/s.
