Question

Suppose an object has a velocity of -7 m/s at t=0. What will the velocity be after 4 seconds if the acceleration of the object is +1 m/s^2?

Answer 1

Vf = - 3 [m/s]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

`v_(f) =v_(o) +a*t`

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = - 7 [m/s]

a = acceleration = 1 [m/s²]

t = time = 4[s]

Now replacing:

Vf = -7 + (1*4)

Vf = - 3 [m/s]
