A car traveling at a velocity of 24 m/s is accelerated uniformly at a rate of 2 m/s¶ for 8 seconds. What is the final velocity of the car?
v=v₀+at
v = v0 + at
24 + 2*8=30m/s
To find the final velocity of the car, we can use the formula for uniformly accelerated motion:
final velocity (v) = initial velocity (u) + (acceleration × time)
Given that the initial velocity (u) is 24 m/s, the acceleration (a) is 2 m/s², and the time (t) is 8 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:
v = u + (a × t)
v = 24 m/s + (2 m/s² × 8 s)
v = 24 m/s + 16 m/s
v = 40 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 40 m/s.
