If an object starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, we can use the following equation to calculate the final velocity (v) of the object:
v = u + at
Where:
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity (in this case, 0 m/s as the object starts from rest)
- a is the acceleration
- t is the time taken for the acceleration to occur
Since the object starts from rest, the initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. Assuming we have the value of acceleration (a) and the time (t), we can calculate the final velocity (v).
For example, if the acceleration is 2 m/s² and the time is 3 seconds:
v = 0 + (2 m/s²) * (3 s) v = 0 + 6 m/s v = 6 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the object in this case would be 6 m/s.
