An object moves along a straight line with an acceleration of 5m/s². If its initial speed is 20 m/s, What will be its speed 4s later?
Deepak J.
20 m/s has greater speed than 10 m/s. Because, the negative sign indicates only that the velocities are in the opposite direction. By magnitude , -20 m/s velocity means the body covers 20m in 1 second, which is greater than 10m in 1 second.
