Question

A dog starts running after a squirrel. Originally the dog traveled at 3m/s

North, and then he picked up speed to 9m/s. After 13s he caught the


squirrel, what is his acceleration?


0.56 m/s^2


0.46 m/s^2


0.75 m/s^2


0.35m/s^2

Answer 1

Answer:0.46 m/s^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the dog can be calculated by using the formula:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

The initial velocity of the dog was 3 m/s, the final velocity was 9 m/s, and the time was 13 seconds.

acceleration = (9 m/s - 3 m/s) / 13 s = 0.46 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the dog was 0.46 m/s^2.
