A splinter starts from rest and uniformly accelerates at a rate of 2/2 for 5.0 seconds. What is his final velocity?

Answer»

Given:

A sprinter starts from REST and uniformly accelerates at a RATE of 2 m/s² for 5.0 seconds.

To find:

Final velocities of man ?

Calculation:

Since the acceleration is constant, we can easily apply the equations of KINEMATICS in order to solve this question.

  • Let final velocity be v, INITIAL velocity be U, acceleration be a and time be t.

Applying 1st Equation of Kinematics:

\sf\therefore \: v = u + at

\sf \implies  \: v = 0 + (2 \times 5)

\sf \implies  \: v = 0 + 10

\sf \implies  \: v =  10 \: m/ {s}^{2}

So, final velocity of sprinter is 10 m/s.
