Question

An object accelerates at a rate of 8 m/s² over a displacement of 9 m. If the object started with a velocity of 5 m/s, what is its final velocity?

Answer 1

13 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the final velocity is shown below;

We know that

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here v represent the final velocity

u denotes the initial velocity

a denotes the acceleration

And, s denotes the displacement

So, the final velocity is

v^2 = (5)^2 + 2(8)(9)

= sqrt(25 + 144)

= sqrt(169)

= 13 m/s
