Personally, I agree with your answer, namely that the likely-intended event happening here is one of acceleration. Having said that, I also want to add: it pains me to see this type of wording because, clearly, it is vague and only invites confusion of the type you are talking about.
Good luck!
Answer:
28 m/s^2
Explanation:
distance, s = 14 m
time, t = 2 - 1 = 1 s
initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Let a be the acceleration.
Use third equation of motion


a = 28 m/s^2
Thus, the acceleration is 28 m/s^2.

A similar but separate notion is that of velocity, which the rate of change<span> of </span>position<span>. Example . If p(t) is the </span>position<span> of an </span>object<span> moving on a number line at time t (measured in minutes, say), then the average </span>rate of change<span> of p(t) is the average velocity of the </span>object<span>, measured in units per minute.</span>
Answer:
It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double
Explanation:
Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:

where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.
In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).
So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:

Which can be rounded to about 289 hours
