Question

An object is traveling at a constant velocity of 10m/s for 4 seconds. What is its acceleration?

40 m/s/s
0.4 m/s/s
2.5 m/s/s
0 m/s/s

Answer 1

The answer is 2.5 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken acting on it can be found by using the formula

`acceleration = (velocity)/(time) \\`

From the question

time = 4 s

velocity = 10 m/s

So we have

`acceleration = (10)/(4) = (5)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

2.5 m/s²

Hope this helps you
