Answer:
15m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 10m/s
Final velocity = 40m/s
Time taken = 2s
Unknown:
Average acceleration = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;
Acceleration =
Acceleration =
= 15m/s²
I believe it is called an ampere.
If an object's velocity is steadily increasing it means that the acceleration is constant at a certain value.
Choice A shows an acceleration of zero which would only be true if the object was not moving or if its velocity was not changing.
Choice B gives us a graph showing acceleration increasing over time and is therefore incorrect.
Choice C is correct because the acceleration is constant. Steadily increasing tells us that the acceleration is fixed at a certain value.
Choice D is incorrect an represents a constant negative acceleration. This would be the case if the object was steadily decreasing in velocity.
