Calculate Time to Reach Final Velocity with Acceleration

We can solve this problem using the kinematic equation: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cv\u003e = \u003cu\u003e + at\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cv\u003e = final velocity = 16 m/s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e = initial velocity = -2 m/s\u003cbr\u003ea = acceleration = 3 m/s^2\u003cbr\u003et = time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRearranging the equation to solve for time (t):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003et = (\u003cv\u003e - \u003cu\u003e) / a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubstituting the given values:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003et = (16 - (-2)) / 3\u003cbr\u003et = 18 / 3\u003cbr\u003et = 6 seconds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, it takes 6 seconds to reach a final velocity of +16 m/s.
