Question

The velocity of a ship in the unit of m/s moving initially along west is given by V(t) = 5-2t. It’s acceleration at t=1 s is given by:

1. 0 m/s^2
2. 2m/s^2 along west
3. 2m/s^2 along east
4. None
Whis one is correct?

Answer 1

4. None

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

a(t) = dV(t)/dt

Where a(t) = Acceleration of the ship at a given time.

From the question,

Given: V(t) = 5-2t

Therefore,

a(t) = dV(t)/dt = 5 m/s²

Hence it's acceleration is 5 m/s²

From the question,

The right option is 4. None
