Question

question 4
if a skateboarder is moving at 4 meters per second then changes its velocity to 10 meters per second over the course of 10 seconds what is the skateboards acceleration?
0.6 meters per second squared
0.06 meters per second squared
6 meters per second squared
60 meters per second squared

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for acceleration

The formula for acceleration \(a=\frac{v - u}{t}\), where \(v\) is the final velocity, \(u\) is the initial velocity, and \(t\) is the time.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(u = 4\space m/s\), \(v=10\space m/s\), \(t = 10\space s\).
\(a=\frac{10 - 4}{10}\)

Step3: Calculate the value of acceleration

\(a=\frac{6}{10}=0.6\space m/s^{2}\)

Answer:

0.6 meters per second squared
