The y-component of the acceleration is
Explanation:
The y-component of the acceleration is given by
where
is the y-component of the final velocity
is the y-component of the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
For the ice skater in this problem, we have:
u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity, in a direction
v = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity, in a direction
t = 8.33 s is the time elapsed
The y-components of the initial and final velocity are:
So the y-component of the acceleration is
