Question

A runner traveling with an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s accelerates at a constant rate of 0.8 m/s2fora time of 2.0 s.(a).What is his velocity at the end of this time

Answer 1

Answer:

The final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the runner, u = 1.1 m/s

constant acceleration, a = 0.8 m/s²

time of motion, t = 2.0 s

The velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is calculate as;

$v = u + at$

where;

v is the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time;

v = 1.1 + (0.8)(2)

v = 2.7 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.
