Math Problem Statement

A particle starts from rest with constant acceleration of 9 m/s², what is its velocity after 4 seconds?

Solution

We can solve this using the first equation of motion:

v=u+atv = u + at

Where:

  • vv is the final velocity,
  • uu is the initial velocity (which is 0, since the particle starts from rest),
  • aa is the acceleration (given as 9m/s29 \, \text{m/s}^2),
  • tt is the time (given as 4 seconds).

Now, plug in the values:

v=0+(9m/s2)×(4sec)=36m/sv = 0 + (9 \, \text{m/s}^2) \times (4 \, \text{sec}) = 36 \, \text{m/s}

Thus, the velocity after 4 seconds is 36 m/s.

Do you have any further questions or want more details?

Here are 5 related questions for practice:

  1. What is the velocity after 6 seconds if the acceleration is 9 m/s²?
  2. If the particle had an initial velocity of 5 m/s, what would its velocity be after 4 seconds?
  3. How far does the particle travel in the first 4 seconds?
  4. What is the velocity if the particle starts from rest and accelerates at 12 m/s² for 5 seconds?
  5. How long does it take for the particle to reach a velocity of 50 m/s with an acceleration of 9 m/s²?

Tip: When dealing with constant acceleration problems, always choose the right kinematic equation based on the known variables.
