1. A runner has an initial speed of 2 [m/s] and slowly speeds up with a constant acceleration of
0.1 [m/s] over a distance of 100 meters. What is the runner's final velocity?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Final Velocity = 4.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;. Initial velocity; u = 2 m/s

Constant Acceleration; a = 0.1 m/s²

Distance; s = 100 m

To find the final velocity(v), we will use one of Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v² = 2² + 2(0.1 × 100)

v² = 4 + 20

v² = 24

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s
