Question

A slug traveling at 3 mm/h, East decided to race the slug next to him increasing his velocity to 5 mm/h, East in one hour. What was the slug's acceleration?

Answer 1

The Acceleration of slug would be 2 mm/hr²

Step by step Explanation:

Given of the solution

Initial velocity of the slug,(we can represent as
`v_(i)`)
`v_(i)`= 3 mm/hr

Final velocity of the slug,(we can represent as
`v_(f)` )
`v_(f)`= 5 mm/hr

Time, t = 1 hr

Acceleration, a = ?

We know,

`a = ((5-3))/(1) \\\\a = 2 mm/hr^2`

Therefore, The Acceleration of slug would be 2 mm/hr²
