Question

A particle moving along a straight line with constant acceleration has a velocity of 2.35 m/s at t=3.42 s, and a velocity of -8.72 m/s at t=5.59s what is the particle's acceleration in m/s?

Answer 1

The particle's acceleration is 5.1 m/s²

What is Acceleration ?

Acceleration can be defined as the rate at which velocity is changing. It is a vector quantity and it is measured in m/s²

Given that a particle is moving along a straight line with constant acceleration has a velocity of 2.35 m/s at t=3.42 s, and a velocity of -8.72 m/s at t=5.59s

The given parameters are;

• V1 = 2.35 m/s

• V2 = - 8.72 m/s

• T1 = 3.42s

• T2 = 5.59s

Acceleration a = ΔV ÷ ΔT

a = (2.35 + 8.72) / (5.59 - 3.42)

a = 11.07 / 2.17

a = 5.1 m/s²

Therefore, the particle's acceleration is 5.1 m/s²
