Question

He sees a mouse sniffing along at 0.2 m/s but it hears and starts to scurry for safety. In just 4.7 s it speeds up to 1.6 m/s. Find its acceleration.

Answer 1

0.30 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0.2 m/s

v = 1.6 m/s

t = 4.7 s

Find: a

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (1.6 m/s − 0.2 m/s) / 4.7 s

a = 0.30 m/s²
