Question

A tomado was moving at a velocity of 10 miles/hour north five minutes later the tomado is moving at a rate of 25 miles/hour north. What was the tornado's acclaration?

Answer 1

180.7km/hr²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 10miles/hr

Final velocity = 25miles/hr

Time taken = 5minutes

To hr

60min = 1hr

5min gives 0.083hr

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

Acceleration =
`(v - u)/(t)`

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Acceleration =
`(25 - 10)/(0.083)` = 180.7km/hr²
