Considering that while traveling on a road with a<u> final speed of 15 m/s</u>, and an<u> initial speed of 24 m/s</u>, with a given time <u>of 12 seconds.</u>

To calculate the acceleration, we apply the following formula:

α = Vf - Vo/t

We add our data into the formula and solve:

α = 15 m/s - 24 m/s/12 sec

α = -0.75 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is -0.75 m/s².

Why do the planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical shape?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

That's essentially how objects in orbits work as they move closer to the body they orbit, they accelerate faster and faster. Our penny will get so fast that, once it comes around the planet, it will be flung very far away, which will then slow it down. This is what creates an elliptical orbit.
