Question

A train travels with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. If it accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s² and travels 100 m, calculate the final velocity.
Options
A 18.0 m/s
B 20.8 m/s
C 28.3 m/s
Correct Answer
D 57.6 m/s
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using v² = u² + 2as: v² = 20² + 2×2×100 = 400 + 400 = 800. v = √800 = 28.28 m/s ≈ 28.3 m/s.

Hint

v² = u² + 2as.
