Given data:
* The initial velocity of the object is 0 m/s.
* The final velocity of the object is 49 m/s.
* The acceleration of the object is,
[tex]a=9.8ms^{-2}[/tex]Solution:
The time taken by the object to achieve the final velocity is,
[tex]v=v_o+at[/tex]where v is the final velocity, v_o is an initial velocity, a is an acceleration, and t is the time taken by the object to acquire the final velocity,
Substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 49=0+9.8\times t \\ 49=9.8t \\ t=\frac{49}{9.8} \\ t=5\text{ s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the time taken by the object to acqurie the final velocity is 5 seconds.
