An object traveling at 10 meters per second undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 meters per second while moving a distance of 100 m. Determine the final velocity of the car. (A) 30 m/s (B) 60 m/s (C) 90 m/s (D) 120 m/s (E) 150 m/s
An object moving at $13 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ slows uniformly at the rate of $2.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ each second for a time of $6.0$ s. Determine $(a)$ its final speed, $(b)$ its average speed during the $6.0 \mathrm{~s}$, and $(c)$ the distance moved in the $6.0 \mathrm{~s}$.
