Good morning friends
A trolley,while going down an inclined plane , has an acceleration of 2cm s-² .What will be the velocity after 5s of start.

Given :-
Acceleration of trolley, a = 2 cm/s² = 0.02 m/s²
Initial speed of trolley, u = 0 (As trolley starts from rest)
Time taken by trolley, t = 3 seconds
To Find :-
Final speed, v = ??
Formula to be used :-
1st equation of motion,
i.e, v = u + at
Solution :-
Putting all the values, we get
v = u + at
⇒ v = 0 + 0.02 × 3
⇒ v = 0.02 × 3
⇒ v = 0.06 m/s
Hence, the final velocity of trolley is 0.06 m/s.
Important Term :-
Final speed - Final speed is that speed which is acquired by the body after its start. It is denoted by v. When a body finally comes to rest, its final speed is zero.
Initial velocity (u) = 0 ( as the trolley begins from the rest position)
Acceleration (a) = 0.02 ms-2
Time (t) = 5s
Find out
velocity 5s after the start
Formula
As per the first motion equation,
v = u + at
(v) = 0 + (0.02 ms-2)(5s)
Putting all the values
we get
⇒v = u + at
⇒v = 0 + 0.02 × 5
⇒v = 0.02 × 5
⇒ v = 0.10 m/s
⇒ 0.10 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the trolley after 5 seconds will be 10 m/s
