Aliya Serrano · Answer 1

The velocity will be 20 meters per second

Esther Fitzgerald · Answer 2

The final velocity will be 20 m/s

Explanation:

According to first law of motion

Vf = Vi + at

Here we are given with

Vf = ?

Vi = 0 because it started from 0

a = 10 m/s²

t = 2 sec

So putting the values in the equation we get

Vf = 0 + 10 x 2

Vf = 20

So velocity after 2 seconds will be 20 m/s
