Answer 1

Answer:

$a = -1.6\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Accelerated Motion

It occurs when an object changes its speed over time. If the changes in speed are uniform, then the acceleration is constant, positive if the speed increases, negative if the speed decreases.

The acceleration is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The aeroplane starts with a speed of vo=62 m/s and reaches a speed of vf=6 m/s in t=35 s.

The acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{6-62}{35}=-\frac{56}{35}$

$\mathbf{a = -1.6\ m/s^2}$
