A 15.0 kilogram cart initially traveling at 2.0 meters per second east accelerates uniformly at 0.75 meter per second squared east for 6.0 seconds. What is the speed of the cart at the end of this 6,0 second interval? Please include all work - including givens, formula, substitution,
and units for full credit. (2)

Explanation:

Since this is not parabolic motion, it is one-dimensional motion. Very simple. What we are given is

mass: 15.0 kg

initial velocity: 2.0 m/s

acceleration: .75 m/s/s

time: 6.0 seconds

Since we are looking for final velocity, the equation we need for this is

v = v0 + at that says final velocity is equal to the initial velocity plus the acceleration of the object times how long it travels. We don't have a need for the mass here at all.

Notice that one of the seconds labels to the right of the plus sign cancel out, leaving us with like units...which we HAVE to have if we want to add.

Simplifying a bit gives us

v = 2.0 m/s + 4.5 m/s so

v = 6.5 m/s

he . if i may ask what i your question exactly?
