Question

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?

Answer 1

Answer: $a=1016.66 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration $a$ is expressed in the following formula:

$a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}$

Where:

$V_{f}=610 m/s$ is the final velocity of the projectile

$V_{o}=0 m/s$  is the initial velocity of the projectile

$t=0.6 s$ is the time

Solving:

$a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}$

$a=1016.66 m/s^{2}$ This is the acceleration of the projectile
