A Car's Final Velocity Calculation

What is the final velocity of a car that initially travels at a speed of 16 meters per second and accelerates uniformly by 0.22 meters per second squared for 12 seconds?

The final velocity of the car is 18.64 m/s.

Calculation of Final Velocity:

Equation of Motion: V = U + at Where: - V is the final velocity - U is the initial velocity - a is the acceleration - t is the time Given values: - Initial velocity, U = 16 m/s - Acceleration, a = 0.22 m/s² - Time, t = 12 seconds Substitute the values into the equation: V = 16 + (12 * 0.22) V = 18.64 m/s Therefore, the final velocity of the car after accelerating uniformly for 12 seconds is 18.64 meters per second.
