A body starts with a velocity of and accelerates uniformly at . What is its velocity after (in m/s)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. 26

**
  1. Step 1: Apply the first kinematic equation for constant acceleration: , where is initial velocity, is acceleration, and is time.
  2. Step 2: Substitute the given parameters , , and : .
  3. Step 3: Calculate the product and add: .
Answer
26.
Why not the others: '56' multiplies instead of adding initial velocity to ; '8' adds acceleration directly to velocity () without multiplying by time ; '21' calculates only the velocity increase , omitting the initial velocity .
