Complete question:
A train has an initial velocity of 44m/s and an acceleration of -4m/s². calculate its velocity after 10s ?
Answer:
the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the train, u = 44 m/s
acceleration of the train, a = -4m/s² (the negative sign shows that the train is decelerating)
time of motion, t = 10 s
let the final velocity of the train = v
The final velocity of the train is calculated using the following kinematic equation;
v = u + at
v = 44 + (-4 x 10)
v = 44 - 40
v = 4 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.
