Question

A runner is traveling with an initial velocity of 0.3 m/s in the positive direction accelerates at a constant rate of 0.4m/s^2 for a time of 2 seconds. What is the velocity at the end of 2 seconds?

Answer 1

1.1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

v = u+at.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time.

From the question,

Given: u = 0.3 ms, a = 0.4 m/s², t = 2 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

v = 0.3+0.4(2)

v = 0.3+0.8

v = 1.1 m/s

Hence the velocity at the end of 2 seconds is 1.1 m/s
