1. **Stating the problem:** A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s² for 8 seconds. We need to find:
a. The final velocity $v_f$
b. The displacement $x$
2. **Formulas used:**
- Final velocity as a function of time: $$v_f = v_i + at$$
- Displacement as a function of time: $$x = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2$$
3. **Given values:**
- Initial velocity $v_i = 0$ m/s (starts from rest)
- Acceleration $a = 3$ m/s²
- Time $t = 8$ s
4. **Calculate final velocity:**
$$v_f = 0 + 3 \times 8 = 24 \text{ m/s}$$
5. **Calculate displacement:**
$$x = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 8^2$$
$$x = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 64 = \frac{3}{2} \times 64 = 1.5 \times 64 = 96 \text{ m}$$
6. **Final answers:**
a. Final velocity $v_f = 24$ m/s
b. Displacement $x = 96$ m
