A body with an initial velocity of 10m/s has an acceleration of 8m/s^2. Determine graphically the velocity after 5 seconds, & the distance travelled in that time. Verify your answer using the equations of motion.

From the graph, at t = 5 seconds, the velocity = 50 m/s as shown also in the above table

Please find attached the graph

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the body =  m/s

The acceleration of the body = 8 m/s²

The velocity after 5 seconds can be determined graphically and by calculation as follows;

Graphically, we have the data points which can be found by the straight line relation  v = u + a×t,

Where ,

a = The slope = 8 m/s²

u = 10 m/s = The y-intercept

Which gives;

v = 10 + 8 × t

The following data can be calculated for various time t;

Time, t     Velocity , v

0,             10

1,              18

2,             26

3,             34

4,             42

5,             50

6,             58

From the graph, at t = 5 seconds, the velocity = 50 m/s as shown also in the above table

Please find attached the graph

By calculation, we have;

v = u + a×t

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity = 10 m/s

a = The acceleration = 8 m/s²

t = The time = 5 seconds

v = 10 + 5× 8 = 50 m/s.
