Answer:

The final velocity is 20 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:


v_f=v_o+at

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s,
a=5\ m/s^2, t=2 s. The final velocity is:


v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s


v_f=20\ m/s

The final velocity is 20 m/s.
