Where v is the final velocity (in m/s), u is the initial velocity (in m/s), a is the acceleration (in m/s²) and s is the distance (in meters).
Find v when u is 9 m/s, a is 7 m/s², and s is 28 meters.

Answer:

The final velocity v is 21.74 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\textrm{initial velocity} = u = 9\ m/s\\\textrm{acceleration} = a = 7\ m/s^{2}\\\textrm{distance} = s = 28\ m[/tex]

To find:

[tex]\textrm{final velocity} = v = ?[/tex]

Solution:

As we know the third equation of motion is represented as

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} + 2\times a\times s\\[/tex]

Substituting the values u, a and s in the above equation we get

[tex]v^{2} = 9^{2} + 2\times 7\times 28\\ =81 + 392\\=473\\[/tex]

[tex]v =\±\sqrt{473} \\v =\sqrt{473} \ \textrm{as acceleration is positive v is also positive}\\v = 21.74\ m/s[/tex]
