A particle P P\,P moves with constant acceleration (1i−2j) ms−2(1\mathbf{i} - 2\mathbf{j}) \text{ ms}^{-2}(1i−2j) ms−2. At time t=0t = 0t=0, P P\,P has speed u ms−1u \text{ ms}^{-1}u ms−1. At time t=2 st = 2 \text{ s}t=2 s, P P\,P has velocity (5i+0j) ms−1(5\mathbf{i} + 0\mathbf{j}) \text{ ms}^{-1}(5i+0j) ms−1.
Find the value of uuu.
