Step 1: Use the equation relating final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and displacement. v^2 = u^2 + 2as Step 2: Find displacement s using s = (1)/(2)at^2. Given u = 0 m/s, a = 2 m/s², t = 10 s. s = (1)/(2) × 2 × (10)^2 s = 1 × 100 = 100 m. Step 3: Substitute into the velocity equation. v^2 = (0)^2 + 2 × 2 × 100 v^2 = 0 + 400 = 400 (m/s)². Step 4: Solve for v. v = sqrt(400) = 20 m/s (taking positive root as speed increases from rest). Final answer: 20 m/s 20 m/s
