a) 6.52 m/s^2
b) 23.47 km/hr^2
a) v = v0 + at --> 9 = 0 + a(1.38) --> a = 6.52
b) 6.52 m/s2 * 60 s2 / 1 min2 * 60 min2 / 1 hr2 = 23.47 km/hr2
Yes, of course! by it's definition the potential energy is an energy that particle have in order to obtain kinetic energy. Or simply an energy to make some movement.
