Q. A cart rolling down an incline for 5.05.0 seconds has an acceleration of 4.0m/s24.0\,\text{m/s}^{2}. If the cart has a beginning speed of 2.0m/s2.0\,\text{m/s}, what is its final speed?\newlineA. 22m/s22\,\text{m/s}\newlineB. 20m/s20\,\text{m/s}\newlineC. 18m/s18\,\text{m/s}\newlineD. 24m/s24\,\text{m/s}
  1. Identify Formula: To find the final speed of the cart, we need to use the formula for final velocity in uniformly accelerated motion, which is:\newlinefinal velocity vv = initial velocity uu + (acceleration aa * time tt)\newlineGiven: initial velocity uu = 2.02.0 m/s, acceleration aa = 4.04.0 m/s², time tt = 5.05.0 s
  2. Calculate Final Velocity: Now we will plug the given values into the formula to calculate the final velocity:\newlinev=2.0m/s+(4.0m/s2×5.0s)v = 2.0\,\text{m/s} + (4.0\,\text{m/s}^2 \times 5.0\,\text{s})
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication within the parentheses: v=2.0m/s+(20.0m/s)v = 2.0\,\text{m/s} + (20.0\,\text{m/s})
  4. Calculate Final Velocity: Now, add the initial velocity to the product of acceleration and time to get the final velocity:\newlinev=2.0m/s+20.0m/sv = 2.0\,\text{m/s} + 20.0\,\text{m/s}\newlinev=22.0m/sv = 22.0\,\text{m/s}
