A car is moving at 6 m/s and then accelerates at 1.7 m/s2 for 4.2 seconds. What is the final velocity of the car?

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

Here,

Initial velocity (u) = 6m/s.

Acceleration (a) = 1.7m/s^2.

Time (t) = 4.2s.

final velocity (v) = ?

We have,


a = (v - u)/(t)

Putting their values,


1.7 = (v - 6)/(4.2)

7.14 = v - 6

v = 7.14 + 6

Therefore, the final velocity is 13.14 m/s.

Hope it helps....
