Question

an objects starting velocity was 5 m/s east and its final velocity is 8 m/s to the east the total time it took for this change in velocity was 3 s what is the objects acceleration?

Answer 1

a= 1 [m/s^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the kinematic equation we have:

`v=vi+a*t\\where\\v=final velocity\\[m/s]vi=initial velocity\\[m/s]\\t=time[s]\\`

Solving the equation for a now we have:

`a=((v-vi))/(t)\\ a=(8-5)/(3) \\a= 1 [m/s^2]`
