Answer

6 m/s

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Given:
Initial velocity, u=0 m/su=0~\mathrm{m/s} (starts from rest).
Acceleration, a=2 m/s2a=2~\mathrm{m/s}^2.
Distance travelled, s=9 ms=9~\mathrm{m}.

Use the kinematic equation:

v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2as
  1. Substitute the known values.

    v2=(0 m/s)2+2(2 m/s2)(9 m)v^2 = (0~\mathrm{m/s})^2 + 2(2~\mathrm{m/s}^2)(9~\mathrm{m})
  2. Simplify inside the parentheses first.

    v2=0+2×2 m/s2×9 mv^2 = 0 + 2 \times 2~\mathrm{m/s}^2 \times 9~\mathrm{m} v2=36 m2/s2v^2 = 36~\mathrm{m^2/s^2}
  3. Solve for vv (take the positive root for magnitude).

    v=36 m2/s2v = \sqrt{36~\mathrm{m^2/s^2}} v=6 m/sv = 6~\mathrm{m/s}

    6 m/s
