Question

An object increases its velocity from 22 m/s to 36 m/s in 5.0 s. What is the average velocity of the object?

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=2.8\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of an object, u = 22 m/s

Final velocity of an object, v = 36 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

It can be assumed to find the average acceleration of the object instead of average velocity.

The change in velocity per unit time is equal to average acceleration of an object. It can be given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{36\ m/s-22\ m/s}{5}\\\\\a=\dfrac{14}{5}\ m/s^2\\\\a=2.8\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the object is $2.8\ m/s^2$.
