An object has a uniform acceleration of3 m/s2. At a certain time its velocity is 10 m/s. What was its velocity 2 second later?

Question

Answer

U= initial velocity,
V= final velocity,
t= time,
a= acceleration,
u=v-at,
u=10-3(2),
u=10-6,
u=4m/s

Answer

Uniform Acceleration

When an object has a uniform acceleration, it means that its velocity is changing at a constant rate.

Given Information

Acceleration = 3 m/s²

Velocity at a certain time = 10 m/s

Time elapsed = 2 seconds

Solution

Using the formula:

final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration x time)

Let's first find the initial velocity:

initial velocity = final velocity - (acceleration x time)

initial velocity = 10 m/s - (3 m/s² x 2 s)

initial velocity = 10 m/s - 6 m/s

initial velocity = 4 m/s

Now that we know the initial velocity, we can find the final velocity after 2 seconds:

final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration x time)

final velocity = 4 m/s + (3 m/s² x 2 s)

final velocity = 4 m/s + 6 m/s

final velocity = 10 m/s

Answer

The velocity of the object 2 seconds later is 10 m/s.

Answer

4m/s
