Question

calculate acceleration of a turtle going from 0.1 m/s to 0.9 m/s in 37 seconds. answer: box check what are the units for your answer to question 15? select one: meters, m/s², m/s, seconds

Explanation:

Step1: Recall acceleration formula

Acceleration \( a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \), where \( \Delta v = v_f - v_i \), \( v_f = 0.9 \, \text{m/s} \), \( v_i = 0.1 \, \text{m/s} \), \( \Delta t = 37 \, \text{s} \).

Step2: Calculate velocity change

\( \Delta v = 0.9 - 0.1 = 0.8 \, \text{m/s} \)

Step3: Compute acceleration

\( a = \frac{0.8}{37} \approx 0.0216 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

Answer:

\( \approx 0.022 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (or \( \frac{0.8}{37} \, \text{m/s}^2 \approx 0.0216 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))
