Question

(PLEASE) You go sledding down a hill and are traveling toward the east. At 0s, your velocity is 0m/s. At 5s, your velocity is 30m/s. Calculate your acceleration.

Answer 1

your acceleration is 6 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 0

initial time, t₀ = 0

final velocity, v = 30 m/s

final time, t = 5 s

The acceleration of is calculated as follows;

`a = (v-u)/(t_1-t_0) \\\\a = (30-0)/(5-0) \\\\a =(30)/(5) \\\\a = 6 \ m/s^2`

Therefore, your acceleration is 6 m/s²
