A car is moving at 25.5 m/s when it accelerates at 1.94 m/s^2 for 2.3 s. What is the car's final speed? (Keep in mind direction and round to 2 decimals)

29.96m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 25.5m/s

Acceleration  = 1.94m/s²

Time  = 2.3s

Unknown:

Final speed of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the right motion equation:

    v = u  + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

      v  = 25.5 + (1.94 x 2.3)  = 29.96m/s
