Question

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second, what will its velocity be after 9.00 seconds?

Answer 1

The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.
