You can put this solution on YOUR website!
initial velocity(V(i)) is 15 m/s
:
acceleration(a) = 3 m/s
:
time(t) = 5 seconds
:
a = (V(f) - V(i)) / t
:
3 = (V(f) - 15) / 5
:
V(f) - 15 = 15
:
V(f) = 30
:
***************************************************
the automobile's velocity after 5 seconds is 30 m/s
