A cart rolling down an incline for 5.0 seconds has an acceleration of 4.0 m/s2. If the cart has a beginning speed of 2.0 m/s, what is its final speed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 5s

Acceleration  = 4m/s²

Initial velocity  = 2m/s

Unknown

Final speed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

         v = u + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

 So, insert the parameters and solve;

         v  = 2 + 4 x 5  = 22m/s
