Physics, asked by sreyasanshaji, 1 year ago

A body moving along a straight line at 20 m/s undergoes an acceleration of -4 m/s2. What will be its speed after two seconds?


sreyasanshaji: Pls answer
sreyasanshaji: speed = distance/ time
sreyasanshaji: right?
allysia: ummm.. yeah
allysia: but beacuse it's a case of acceleration so you cannot apply that rule
allysia: because*
sreyasanshaji: oh right! thanks

Initial velocity (u) = 20m/s

Acceleration (a ) = -4m/s^2

time taken (t) = 2s.

Using defination of acceleration AKA 1st law of motion i.e

v = at + u

v =( -4 ×2) + 20
= -8 +20
= 12.



Therefore underthese circumstances, the sped of the body will be 12m/s


sreyasanshaji: Thank you
allysia: you're welcome sweetheart ^_^
