Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered  = 16m

Time  = 6s

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Unknown:

Magnitude of the acceleration of the runner = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation which is given below;

     S  = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$  at²  

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

 Now, insert the parameters and solve for acceleration;

      16  = (0 x 6) + $\frac{1}{2}$ x a x 6²

     16  = 18a

     a  = $\frac{16}{18}$   = 0.89m/s²
