We use the formula [tex]v^2=u^2+2as[/tex] to find the initial velocity
We have:
Initial velocity (u) = 12 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 14 m/s²
Distance (s) = 48 meters
We are looking to find the final velocity (v)
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
v² = 12² + 2(14)(48)
v² = 144 + 1344
v² = 1488
v = √1488
v = 38.57 m/s
