You would need to use the equation a= (v-u)÷t
You need to substitute in the correct numbers.
a= (10-20)÷1

U. A hockey player takes a slap shot at a puck at rest on
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a) 7200 ft/s²

b) 140 ft

c) 3.7 s

Explanation:

(a) Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a_avg = Δv / Δt

We need to find what velocity the puck reached after it was hit by the hockey player.

We know it reached 40 ft/s after traveling 90 feet over rough ice at an acceleration of -20 ft/s².  Therefore:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)

(40 ft/s)² = v₀² + 2(-20 ft/s²)(100 ft − 10 ft)

v₀² = 5200 ft²/s²

v₀ = 20√13 ft/s

So the average acceleration impacted to the puck as it is struck is:

a_avg = (20√13 ft/s − 0 ft/s) / (0.01 s)

a_avg = 2000√13 ft/s²

a_avg ≈ 7200 ft/s²

(b) The distance the puck travels before stopping is:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)

(0 ft/s)² = (5200 ft²/s²) + 2(-20 ft/s²)(x − 10 ft)

x = 140 ft

(c) The time the puck takes to travel 10 ft without friction is:

t = (10 ft) / (20√13 ft/s)

t = (√13)/26 s

The time the puck travels over the rough ice is:

v = at + v₀

(0 ft/s) = (-20 ft/s²) t + (20√13 ft/s)

t = √13 s

So the total time is:

t = (√13)/26 s + √13 s

t = (27√13)/26 s

t ≈ 3.7 s

How do i calculate acceleration? pls help! thanks :)
LenKa [72]

The acceleration is 2 mph/min

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity. It is defined as follows:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the car in this problem, we have (taking North as positive direction):

u = 25 mph

v = 35 mph

t = 5 min

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{35 mph-25mph}{5min}=2 mph/min

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.
