Georgia is jogging with a velocity of 4 m/s when she accelerates at 2 m/s2 for

3 seconds. How fast is Georgia running now?

Verified Answer :

Moly42

acceleration is equal to change in velocity / change in time

so 2 = vf-4 / 3

... 6 = vf-4
vf = 10 m/s

Answer:

Final speed of Georgia, v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of Georgia, u = 4 m/s

Acceleration of Georgia, \(a=2\ m/s^2\)

Time taken, t = 3 seconds

Let v is the velocity with which Georgia is running now. It can be calculated using the first equation of motion as :

\(v=u+at\)

\(v=4+2\times 3\)

v = 10 m/s

So, Georgia is now moving with a speed of 10 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
