Question

What is the average acceleration during the time interval 0 seconds to 10 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $0.5 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The average acceleration is equal to the ratio between the change in velocity and the time elapsed:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

The change in velocity between t=0 s and t=10 s is the change on the vertical axis:

$\Delta v = 5 -0 = 5 m/s$

Whule the time interval is

$\Delta t = 10 s$

So the average acceleration is

$a=\frac{5 m/s}{10 s}=0.5 m/s^2$
