Question

I'm 2.5 seconds, a projectile goes from 50 m/s to 800 m/s, heading southeast. What is the acceleration of the projectile?

Answer 1

a = 300 m/s²

Explanation:

In 2.5 seconds, a projectile goes from 50 m/s to 800 m/s.

We need to find the acceleration of the projectile. The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So,

`a=(v-u)/(t)\\\\a=(800-50)/(2.5)\\\\=300\ m/s^2`

So, the acceleration of the projectile is 300 m/s².
