Question

A car starting from rest (i.e. initial velocity = 0.0 m/s), moves in the positive X-direction with a constant average acceleration = 3.1 m/s2 for 7.9 s. What will be its velocity at that time.

Answer 1

Answer:

Final speed of the car, v = 24.49 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0

Acceleration, $a=3.1\ m/s^2$

Time taken, t = 7.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car. Let it is given by v. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

$v=u+at$

$v=0+3.1\times 7.9$

v = 24.49 m/s

So, the final speed of the car is 24.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
