Question

Michael gets on his skateboard and goes down a hill, accelerating. His speed changes from 0 m/s to 3.3 m/s in 15 seconds. Calculate Michael’s rate of acceleration

Answer 1

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

a: acceleration
Vf: final velocity
Vi: initial velocity
t: time

a = (Vf - Vi) / t
a = (3.3 - 0) / 15
a = 0.22 m/s^2
