A golf ball starts with a speed of 2 m/s and slows at a constant rate of 0.5 m/s2, what is its velocity after 2 s?

3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 2m/s

Acceleration  = 0.5m/s²

Time  = 2s

Unknown:

Final speed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the right motion equation;

     V  = U + at

V is the final speed

U is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

      V = 2  + (2 x 0.5)

      V = 2 + 1

      V = 3m/s

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.
