Question

a car is travelling with a certain velocity its final velocity is 50m/s in 20 seconds. accelerating at the rate of 1.2m/s . find the initial velocity of the car​

Answer 1

Answer:

u = 26 m/s

Explanation:

Hello, this is quite simple!

We are given :

v (final velocity) = 50 m/s

u (initial velocity) = x m/s

a = 1.2 m/s^2, and

t = 20 seconds

Now,

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / time

Substituting,

1.2 = (50 - x) / 20

24 = 50 - x

x = 50 - 24

x = 26 m/s, Or

u = 26 m/s
