The Physics of Car Acceleration: From Rest to Final Speed

What is the car's final speed after accelerating uniformly at 3 m/s for 10 seconds?

A car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s for 10 seconds. The car's final speed in m/s after the acceleration is 30 m/s.

Given the following data to find the acceleration:

Initial velocity, U = 0 m/s (since the car starts from rest)

Time, t = 10 seconds

Acceleration, a = 3 meters per second square.

What is velocity?

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of an object's position with some function of time. Mathematically, velocity can be defined by the ratio of distance and time.

The velocity after a certain time of acceleration can be described with the formula:

V = u + at

Where:

V is the final velocity,

u is the initial velocity,

a is the acceleration,

t is the time.

Substituting all the given values in the formula:

V = 0 + 3 (10)

V = 30 m/s.

Therefore, the car's final speed in m/s after the acceleration is 30 m/s.
