Question

Solve for acceleration. Dillion uses his skateboard to accelerate off a jump from rest to 35 m/s in 5 seconds. What is his acceleration?

40 m/s²
30 m/s
175 m/s²
7 m/s

Answer 1

The acceleration of Dillion's skateboard is 7 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for acceleration, we can use the equation:

acceleration = change in velocity / time

In this case, Dillion's initial velocity is 0 m/s and his final velocity is 35 m/s. The time taken is 5 seconds. Substituting the values into the equation, we get:

acceleration = (35 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5 s

acceleration = 7 m/s²

Therefore, Dillion's acceleration is 7 m/s².
