Calculate Velocity of a Car from Rest

What is the velocity of a car that starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at the rate of 5 m/s^2 for 5 seconds?

Calculate the final velocity of the car.

Final Velocity Calculation:

The velocity of a car that starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at the rate of 5 m/s^2 for 5 seconds is 25 m/s.

When a car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at the rate of 5 m/s^2 for 5 seconds, we can calculate the final velocity using the equation of motion:

v = u + at

where:

v is the final velocity,

u is the initial velocity (which is 0 for a car starting from rest),

a is the acceleration (5 m/s^2 in this case), and

t is the time (5 seconds).

Substitute the values into the equation:

v = 0 + (5 m/s^2 * 5 s) = 25 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car after 5 seconds of accelerating at 5 m/s^2 is 25 m/s.
