Question

1. in a summer storm, the wind is blowing with a velocity of 8 m/s north. suddenly in 3 seconds, the winds velocity is 23 m/s north. what is the winds acceleration? equation: plug numbers into the equation final answer w/ units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the acceleration formula

The formula for acceleration is $a=\frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$, where $v_f$ is the final - velocity, $v_i$ is the initial - velocity, and $t$ is the time.

Step2: Identify the values of $v_f$, $v_i$, and $t$

$v_i = 8\ m/s$, $v_f=23\ m/s$, and $t = 3\ s$.

Step3: Plug the values into the formula

$a=\frac{23 - 8}{3}=\frac{15}{3}$

Step4: Calculate the acceleration

$a = 5\ m/s^2$

Answer:

$5\ m/s^2$
