The velocity is #=(100-1/2f) cms^-1#

We apply the equation of motion

#s=vt+1/2at^2#

#Deltas=vDeltat+1/2a(Deltat)^2#

The velocity after #ts# is #=vcms^-1#

#Deltat=t+1-t=1s#

The acceleration is #a=f cms^-2#

The distance is #Deltas=100cm#

Therefore,

#100=(vxx1)+(1/2xxfxx1)#

#v=(100-1/2f) cms^-1#
