Question

James accelerated from rest at a rate of 8 m/s² for 14 seconds. What was his finalspeed?

Answer 1

Given

The acceleration,

$a=8\text{ m/s}^2$

The time,

$t=14\text{ sec}$

To find

The final speed

Explanation

Let the final speed be v.

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v}{t} \\ \Rightarrow8=\frac{v}{14} \\ \Rightarrow v=112\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Conclusion

The velocity is 112 m/s.
