Question

A cat is running with a velocity of 2.4 m/s and accelerates at 1.2 m/$s^{2}$ Caculate the cat's velocity after 5.0 s? show ALL workings

Answer 1

Answer:

The final velocity at 5.0s should be 8.4 m/s

Explanation:

You need this formula to solve this question:

v = u + at

v = final velocity (what you're solving for)

u = initial velocity (here it's 2.4 m/s)

a = acceleration (here it's 1.2 m/s^2)

t = time (here it's 5.0s)

So just plug in your values:

v = (2.4 m/s) + (1.2 m/s^2)/(5.0s)

v = 8.4 m/s
