Answer:

His acceleration is \frac{1}{15} meters per seconds²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of the speed

The formula of acceleration is a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t} , where

  • v_{f} is the final speed
  • v_{i} is the initial speed
  • The unit of the acceleration is meters/second²

∵ Jim goes from 70 meters/minute (beginning speed) to

   106 meters/minute (final speed) in 9 seconds

∴ His initial speed v_{i} = 70 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ \frac{70}{(1)(60)}=\frac{70}{60}=\frac{7}{6}  meters/second

∴ v_{i} = \frac{7}{6}  meters/second

∵ His final speed v_{f} = 106 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∴ \frac{106}{(1)(60)}=\frac{106}{60}=\frac{53}{30}  meters/second

∴ v_{f} = \frac{53}{30}  meters/second

∵ The time of the change of his speed is 9 seconds

∴ t = 9

∵ The formula of acceleration is a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

- Substitute the values of t, v_{i}  and v_{f} in the formula above

∴  a=\frac{\frac{53}{30}-\frac{7}{6}}{9}=\frac{1}{15}

∴ His acceleration is \frac{1}{15} meters per seconds²
