Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

-- during the first second, the object increases its speed to

(5 m/s²) · (1 s) = 5 m/s .

-- During the next 2 seconds, the object increases its speed by

(2 m/s²) · ( s) = 4 m/s

So at the end of the whole 3 seconds, its speed is (5 m/s) + (4 m/s) = 9 m/s

-- Over the whole time, its speed has changed from zero to 9 m/s.

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Acceleration = (9 m/s) / (3 sec)

<em>Acceleration = 3 m/s²</em>

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}
