Answer:

2 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate at which the speed changes.

a = (new speed - old speed)(time)

a = (12 m/s - 2 m/s)/(5 s)

a = (10 m/s)/(5 s)

a = 2 m/s^2

ABC is a right triangle. If AC = 7 and BC 8, find AB. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

scoundrel [369]

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know if AB is a hypotenuse or leg.

If AB is hypotenuse:

$AB=\sqrt{AC^2+BC^2} =\sqrt{7^2+8^2} =\sqrt{49+64} =\sqrt{113}$

If AB is leg:

$AB=\sqrt{BC^2-AC^2} =\sqrt{8^2-7^2} =\sqrt{64-49} =\sqrt{15}$
