  1. v = u + at

    v = 15 + 3*2

    v = 21 m/s

    because 54km/h = 15m/s


  2. v = 54 km/h = 15 m/s

    because 54km = 54000 m

    and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

    54000/3600 = 15

    Use this formula: v = v0 + at

    v = 15 + 3(2)

    v = 21 m/s

    21/1000 = .021

    .021(3600) = 75.6 km/h

  3. Acceleration is not measured in meters per second, but in m / sec^2.

    Or meters per sec per sec. So assume the car undergoes an acceleration of 3 m. sec^-2.

    Then the increase in V = 3 X 2 m /sec

                                      = 6 m/sec

                                      = 6 X 3600 m /h

                                      = 21 600    m / h

                                      = 21,6 km/h

    Therefore new speed of car = 21,6 + 54 km/h

                                           =  75,6 km/h

  4. all you need to do is convert your units...

    54km = 54000 m

    1h =  3600 s

    54km/h = 15m/s

    +3m/s = 18m/s or 64.8 km/h

  5. v(t) = at + v0

    a = 3 m/s²

    v0 = 54 km/s = 54,000/3,600 m/s = 15 m/s

    t = 2 s

    v(2) =  3*2 + 15 = 21 m/s
