Question

An Object moving 10 m/s undergoes acceleration for 6 seconds. If it moves 8 m to the left, find the acceleration

Answer 1

The acceleration of the object is -3 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found using the formula:

acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time)

In this case, the object's initial velocity is 10 m/s and it undergoes acceleration for 6 seconds. The object's final velocity is not mentioned, but if it moves 8 m to the left, we can assume that the final velocity is -8 m/s (negative because it's moving to the left).

Using the formula, the acceleration can be calculated as:

acceleration = (-8 m/s - 10 m/s) / 6 s = -3 m/s²

Answer 2

`\Delta x= V_0t+ (1)/(2)at^(2) \\ \\ 8=10(6)+ (1)/(2)a(6)^(2) \\ \\ 8=60+ (1)/(2)(36)a \\ \\ 8=60+13a \\ \\ -52=13a \\ \\ (-52)/(13)=a \\ \\ \boxed{a=-4m/s^(2)}`
