Q. A cart rolling down an incline for 5.0 seconds has an acceleration of 4.0m/s2. If the cart has a beginning speed of 2.0m/s, what is its final speed?A. 22m/sB. 20m/sC. 18m/sD. 24m/s
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:final velocity v = initial velocity u + (acceleration a * time t)Given: initial velocity u = 2.0 m/s, acceleration a = 4.0 m/s², time t = 5.0 s
Calculate Final Velocity: Now we will plug the given values into the formula to calculate the final velocity:v=2.0m/s+(4.0m/s2×5.0s)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication within the parentheses: v=2.0m/s+(20.0m/s)
Calculate Final Velocity: Now, add the initial velocity to the product of acceleration and time to get the final velocity:v=2.0m/s+20.0m/sv=22.0m/s
