Question

An object with an initial speed of 4.0 meters per second accelerates uniformly at 2.0 meters per second squared in the direction of its motion for a distance fof 5 meters. What is the final speed of the object

Answer 1

Answer:

6 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 4 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Distance (s) = 5 m

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the object can obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 4² + (2 × 2 × 5)

v² = 16 + 20

v² = 36

Take the square root of both side.

v = √36

v = 6 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the object is 6 m/s.
