Question

The Black Panther is driving east on Interstate 76 at a velocity of 30 m/s when he spots an individual he is chasing and increases his velocity to 50 m/s in 5 s. What was his acceleration during this time?

Answer 1

An acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity compared to the change of time. To find the acceleration, use this following formula.
a =
`\cfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}`
Δ means the rate of change

Input the numbers
a =
`\cfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}`
a =
`\cfrac{50-30}{5}`
a =
`\cfrac{20}{5}`
a = 4

The acceleration is 4 m/s²
