Question

A runner is running to the left with a speed of 8.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}8.0 s m ​ 8, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction when she speeds up with constant acceleration for 2.0\,\text s2.0s2, point, 0, start text, s, end text to reach the finish line. The runner's final speed is 9.9\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}9.9 s m ​ 9, point, 9, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction to the left. What was the runner's acceleration as she sped up to the finish line?

Answer 1

Answer:

The runner's acceleration as she sped up to the finish line is 0.95m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with respect to time. It is expressed as;

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time

Given initial speed = 8.0m/s

Final speed = 9.9m/s

Time taken = 2.0s

Acceleration = 9.9-8.0 / 2.0

Acceleration = 1.9/2

Acceleration = 0.95m/s²
