For this case what you should do is write the kinematic equations to find the final speed.

We have then:

a = a

vf = a * t + vo

Where,

vf: final speed

a: acceleration

t: time

vo: initial speed.

Substituting the values we have:

vf = (4.0) * (7.0) + (10)

vf = 38 cm / s

answer:

its velocity will be 38 cm / s 7.0 seconds later
