A BODY MOVES WITH INITIAL VELOCITY 10 M S -1 AND ACCELERATES AT 4 M S -2 FIND ITS VELOCITY AFTER 10 S
Answers
Given:
• Initial velocity (u) = 10m/s
• Acceleration (a) =
• Time (t) = 10 s
To calculate:
• Its velocity after 10s i.e its final velocity.
Calculation:
By using the first equation of motion :
- v = u + at
Where,
• v = final velocity
• u = initial velocity
• a = acceleration
• t = time taken
Calculating its final velocity by substituting the values, we get :
→ v = 10 + ( 4 × 10 ) m/s
→ v = 10 + 40 m/s
→
Therefore, its velocity after 10 seconds is 50 m/s.

Equations of motion:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + ½at²
- 2as = v² - u²
Where,
• v = final velocity
SI unit = m/s
• u = inital velocity
SI unit = m/s
• a= acceleration
SI unit = m/s²
• t = time
SI unit = seconds (s)
• s = distance/displacement
SI unit = metre (m)
Also,
- When body starts from rest, its initial velocity (u) is 0.
- When body comes to rest or applies brake, its final velocity (v) is 0.
- Negative acceleration is called retardation.
By using the first equation of motion :
Where,
◑ v = final velocity
◑ u = initial velocity
◑ a = acceleration
◑ t = time taken
✯Calculating its final velocity by substituting the values, we get :
⇛ v = 10 + ( 4 × 10 ) m/s
⇛ v = 10 + 40 m/s
⇛
Therefore, its velocity after 10 seconds is 50 m/s.
