Question
The initial velocity of a car is 10 ms-1. It moves with an acceleration of 2 ms-2. What will be its speed after 10 seconds?
Solution
Initial velocity u =10 ms-1.
Acceleration a = 2 ms-2.
Time t = 10 s.
By using first equation of motion
V = u + at.
V = 10 + 2 X 10.
V (final velocity) = 30 ms-1.
