To find the velocity of the trolley after 3 seconds, we can use the formula for acceleration:

Velocity Calculation

The formula to calculate final velocity (v) when starting from rest is:

v = u + at

Where:

  • u = initial velocity (0 cm/s, since it starts from rest)
  • a = acceleration (2 cm/s²)
  • t = time (3 s)

Plugging in the Values

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

v = 0 + (2 cm/s² × 3 s)

Calculating this gives:

v = 6 cm/s

Final Result

Therefore, the velocity of the trolley after 3 seconds will be 6 cm/s.
