Question from Tamara, a student: An object has an initial speed of 5 m/s and is accelerating with 2 m/s2 (m/s squared) acceleration. What will be its speed after 10s? |
Tamara,
The initial speed is 5 metres per second and it is accelerating at 2 metres per second per second. Thus in each second the speed increases by 2 metres per second. What is its speed after 10 seconds?
