seconds. What is my acceleration?
a=(vf-viyt

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


a = (v_f-v_0)/(t) which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator. For us:


a=(2.7-1.6)/(1.2) so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)
