Question

During the last shot of the game, the basketball goes from rest to 15 m/s and reaches the backboard in 0.41 s. What was the acceleration of the ball?

Answer 1

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m
