Question

Ansley forgot to put gas in her car again for two weeks. The graph below shows the last few seconds of her car being stalled along Harlem rd at 7:23 am on a Friday.

what is the acceleration of Ansley car?

Answer 1

-3 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity over time.

a = dv/dt

For a straight line, the acceleration is equal to the slope.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 18 m/s) / (6 s − 0 s)

a = -3 m/s²
