Problema Solution

A train is accelertating at a rate of 2 m/s . If its initial velocity is 20 m/s , what is its velocity after 30 seconds

Answer provided by our tutors

Formula for velocity as a function of initial velocity, acceleration and time.


v = v0 + at


v0 = 20 m/s initial velocity


v = velocity


a = 2 m/s^2 acceleration


t = 30 sec time


v = 20 + 2*30


v = 80 m/s


after 30 seconds the velocity is 80 m/s.
