The final velocity is +15.0 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the cart is a uniformly accelerated motion (=at constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:
where
v is the velocity at time t
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the cart in this problem, we have:
u = +3.0 m/s (initial velocity)
(acceleration)
t = 8.0 s (time)
Substituting, we find the final velocity:
