Question

A frisbee travels over 2 points. Point A and Point B. If flies over point A going 10

m.s, it flies over point B going 6 m/s. If it took 9 seconds to go from point to point.
What is the acceleration of the frisbee?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration of the frisbee, we can use the formula:

a = (v2 - v1) / t

where v2 is the final velocity, v1 is the initial velocity, and t is the time interval.

Given:

- The frisbee travels over Point A and Point B.

- It flies over Point A at a velocity of 10 m/s.

- It flies over Point B at a velocity of 6 m/s.

- The time taken to go from Point A to Point B is 9 seconds.

We can first calculate the acceleration using the velocities of Point A and Point B:

a = (6 m/s - 10 m/s) / 9 s

Simplifying, we get:

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Note that the negative sign indicates that the frisbee is decelerating, or slowing down.

Therefore, the acceleration of the frisbee is -0.44 m/s^2.
