Question

I NEED HELP ASAP!! PLEASE

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration = -3m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 19m/s

Final velocity = 3m/s

Time = 2secs

To find the acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time. Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$a = \frac{3 - 9}{2}$

$a = \frac{-6}{2}$

Acceleration = -3m/s²

The value for her acceleration is negative because she is decelerating i.e her final velocity is lower than her initial velocity.
