Question

A car traveling at a velocity of 8m/s and then accelerates at 0.6m/S^2 for 8 seconds. What is the velocity after the 8 seconds?

Answer 1

To calculate the final velocity of the car after 8 seconds of acceleration, you can use the equation:

v = v₀ + at

where: v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

Given: Initial velocity (v₀) = 8 m/s Acceleration (a) = 0.6 m/s² Time (t) = 8 s

Plugging in these values into the equation, we get:

v = 8 m/s + (0.6 m/s²) × 8 s v = 8 m/s + 4.8 m/s v = 12.8 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car after 8 seconds of acceleration is 12.8 m/s.
