An object moving at 15 m/s slows uniformly at a rate of 2.0 m/s each second for 5.0 s. What is its final speed?​

hey there!

We are given ,

Acceleration, a = -2m/s^2

Initial velocity , u = 15m/s

Time , t = 5 seconds

We know that ,
V=u+at

Now , final speed ,

V = 15+(-2)(5)

V = 15-10

V = 5 m/s -> final speed

Hope this helps you dear :)
Have a good day <3
