Question

Victor is driving south. He is traveling at 12 m/s, when he enters an area with a new speed limit. Aver a period of 6 seconds, his speed increases from 12 m/s to 29 m/s. What is Victor’s acceleration during this period?

Answer 1

1.1417 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/ time

a=
`(v-u)/(t)`

a=
`(29-12)/(12)`

a=
`(17)/(12)`

a= 1.417 m/s² or
`(17)/(12)` m/s² in fraction form
