Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance = 15miles north = 24140.2m
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Final velocity = 4m/s
Unknown:
Speed, velocity and acceleration = ?
Solution:
The speed is the distance divide by time. It is a scalar quantity and has no directional attribute.
Speed =
The speed of the student is 4m/s
Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity which specifies the direction and magnitude;
Velocity =
The velocity of the student is 4m/s due north
Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;
To find the acceleration, we use
v² = u² + 2as
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance
4² = 0² + 2x a x 24140.2
a = = 0.00033m/s²
