Question

1. a physics student running 2.0 meters per second increases her velocity to 16.0 meters per second in a duration of 3.5 seconds. what is the average acceleration of the student? +3.0 m/s² +4.0 m/s² +5.0 m/s² +6.0 m/s² clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Recall 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: Identify the values

Given \(u = 2.0\ m/s\), \(v=16.0\ m/s\), and \(t = 3.5\ s\).

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
