xander was traveling at a velocity of 4.5 m/s and 3.5 seconds. Finley was traveling at a velocity of 3.6 m/s for 4.2 seconds. Max was traveling at a velocity of 7.3 m/s for 1.2 seconds. They all started at the same location. Which lists them from least to most acceleration?

To compare and rank each one's acceleration, get the acceleration of each person by using the formula, Acceleration = Velocity/Time

Xander = 4.5mps / 3.5s = 1.29m/s^2
Finley = 3.6mps/4.2s = 0.86m/s^2
Max = 7.3mps/1.2s = 6.08m/s^2

Based on the answers above, the least acceleration was done by Finley, then Xander had higher acceleration than Finley, while most acceleration was done by Max.
