A car with an initial speed of 6.5 m/s accelerates at a uniform rate of 0.92 m/s2 for 3.6 s. Find the final speed of the car dur
geniusboy [140]
U = 6.5 m/s, initial speed
t = 3.6 s, time
a = 0.92 m/s², acceleration

Let v = the final velocity.
Then
v = u +at
v = (6.5 m/s) + (0.92 m/s²)*(3.6 s) = 9.812 m/s

Answer: 9.81 m/s
