1. a physics student running 2.0 meters per second increases her velocity to 16.0 meters per second in a duration of 3.5 seconds. what is the average acceleration of the student? +3.0 m/s² +4.0 m/s² +5.0 m/s² +6.0 m/s² clear all

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for acceleration

The formula for acceleration (a=\frac{v - u}{t}), where (v) is the final velocity, (u) is the initial velocity, and (t) is the time.

Step2: Identify the values

Given (u = 2.0\ m/s), (v=16.0\ m/s), and (t = 3.5\ s).

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

[ \begin{align*} a&=\frac{16.0 - 2.0}{3.5}\ &=\frac{14.0}{3.5}\ & = 4.0\ m/s^{2} \end{align*} ]

Answer:

(+ 4.0\ m/s^{2})
