Question

in a summer storm, the wind is blowing with a velocity of 8 m/s north. Suddenly in 3 seconds, the wind’s velocity is 23 m/s north. What is the wind’s acceleration? Show work and include units

Answer 1

5m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity divided by change in time

time= 3 seconds

Iv= 8 m/s north

Fv= 23 m/s north

change in velocity = 15 m/s

acceleration = 15 / 3 which equals 5 m/s²
