A body was moving with a constant velocity of 20 m/s. When an external force is applied, it produces an uniform acceleration of $4 m / s^{2}$ . What is the time taken to reach 80 m/s and also find the velocity at half of that time? [3 MARKS]

Solution

Finding Time : 1.5 Marks
Finding Velocity : 1.5 Marks

Here,

$u = 20 m / s, v = 80 m / s, a = 4 m / s^{2}$

Using Equation, $v = u + a t$
$80 = 20 + (4 \times t)$
$4 t = 60$
$t = 15 s$
Therefore, time taken to reach 80m/s is 15 s.

Velocity at 7.5 s
$v = 20 + 4 \times 7.5 = 50 m / s$
