Jerry is riding his motorcycle at a speed of 45 m/s. He accelerates at a speed of -8 m/s² for 4seconds. How fast will he be going

Respuesta :

Given

Initial speed, u=45 m/s

Acceleration

[tex]a=-\frac{8m}{s^2}[/tex]

Time taken, t=4 sec

To find

The final speed

Explanation

Let the speed he be going in be v

Thus,

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v-u}{t} \\ \Rightarrow-8=\frac{v-45}{4} \\ \Rightarrow-32+45=v \\ \Rightarrow v=13\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Conclusion

The velocity he is going in is 13 m/s.
