A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s. Then it slows down at a steady rate of 2.0 m/s2 for 4.0 s. What is the final speed of the car?

A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. The final speed of the car is 12 m/s.

The velocity of an object is usually referred to as the change rate of the object in a specified direction.

Given that:

Using the first equation of motion;

Let v₁ be the initial speed of the car

v₁ = u₁ + a₁t₁

Since the car starts from rest, the initial speed = 0 m/s

v = 0 + (4.0 m/s²) × 5.0 s

v = 0 + 20 m/s

v = 20 m/s

Using the same first equation of motion;

Let v₂ be the final speed of the car

v₂ = u₂ + a₂t₂

v₂ = 20 m/s + (-2 m/s²) × (4.0 s)

v₂ = (20 - 8) m/s

v₂ = 12 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that the final speed of the car is 12 m/s.
