Question

38. Seeing a crocodile while drinking from a river, it took Thomas 5 seconds to accelerate to a speed of 10 meters per second when he was running away. What was its acceleration? 50 m / s? b. 2 m / s? from. 15 m / s²

Answer 1

2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time taken = 5s

velocity = 10m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration of a body is the change in velocity of a body with time.

It is measure in m/s²

 Mathematically, it is expressed as;

   Acceleration = $\frac{V - U}{T}$

V = final velocity

U = initial velocity

Since he started from rest, his initial velocity is 0;

Input the values;

  Acceleration = $\frac{10}{5}$ = 2m/s²
