A car moving at 4 m/s accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s for 10 s. What is its final speed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 24 m/s
- Step 1: Use .
- Step 2: m/s.
Answer
24 m/s.
Why not the others: 20 m/s: it leaves out the initial speed. 16 m/s: it adds the numbers instead of using . 80 m/s: it multiplies all three quantities.
