Question

A girl is out jogging at 1.75m/s and accelerates to 3.29m/s over a displacement of 295m. What was the girl’s acceleration?

A. 0.0132
B. 0.00261
C. -441
D. 383

Answer 1

The girl's acceleration is approximately 0.00523 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the girl's acceleration, we can use the equation: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / displacement. Plugging in the given values, we have: acceleration = (3.29 m/s - 1.75 m/s) / 295 m = 1.54 m/s² / 295 m = 0.00523 m/s².

Therefore, the girl's acceleration is approximately 0.00523 m/s².
