Question

Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s. To determine acceleration, Micah also needs the_______________

of the total trip in seconds.

Answer 1

Answer: Time

Explanation: Took the test and got it right! :)

Answer 2

Duration of the total trip

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of an object:

`a=(\Delta v)/(\Delta t)`

where

`\Delta v` is the change in velocity

`\Delta t` is the duration of the change in velocity

Acceleration is measured in meters per squared seconds,
`m/s^2`. Also, we should note that acceleration is a vector quantity, so in order to completely define acceleration we also need to specify the direction.
