Understanding the Concepts
* Initial Velocity (u): 24 m/s
* Acceleration (a): 2 m/s²
* Time (t): 8 seconds
* Final Velocity (v): What we need to find
Formula
We can use the following equation of motion to find the final velocity:
v = u + at
Calculation
1. Substitute the values:
v = 24 m/s + (2 m/s² * 8 s)
2. Simplify:
v = 24 m/s + 16 m/s
3. Final Velocity:
v = 40 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 40 m/s.
