Answer: Acceleration = 0 ✅

Explanation:

Hii, let me help you out! (:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Part 1

Acceleration means "change in speed (which is also known as velocity, V, in physics) per a specific amount of time.

Part 1 is Successfully completed!

Part 2

Our Dog Problem

Now let's focus on finding the acceleration of the dog.

Like I said above,
\sf Acceleration=change\;in\;speed\;per\;a\;specific\;amount\;of\;time

Well, we are provided with the information that the dog's speed is constant. This means that it doesn't change. So the dog keeps on moving at a speed of 8 m/s. This means that its speed doesn't change, so the change in speed is 0. And this means that its acceleration is 0.

Voila! There's our answer, cheers! (:

\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: Acceleration_(dog) = 0

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :

A dog is moving at a constant speed of 8 m/s, that concludes that there's no change in its speed with respect to time.

And Acceleration is define as rate of change in velocity, but since velocity/speed is constant. change in velocity = 0

Henceforth, Acceleration of dog is 0 as well.
