Question

A slug traveling at 3 mm/h, East decided to race the slug next to him increasing his velocity to 5 mm/h, East in one hour. What was the slug's acceleration?

Answer 1

The Acceleration of  slug  would be 2 mm/hr²

Step by step Explanation:

Given of the solution

Initial velocity of the slug,(we can represent as $v_{i}$)  $v_{i}$= 3 mm/hr

Final velocity of the slug,(we can represent as $v_{f}$ ) $v_{f}$= 5 mm/hr

Time, t = 1 hr

Acceleration, a = ?

We know,

$a = \frac{(5-3)}{1} \\\\a = 2 mm/hr^2$

Therefore, The Acceleration of  slug would be 2 mm/hr²
