Question

1. stan was running a on a trail in a wooded area next to his house. he generally runs at a pace of 3 m/s. while stan was running he realized he was going to have to pass the person that was running in front of him. to do this, stan had to run at a pace of 7 m/s for about 2 seconds. what was stans acceleration during this time? 2 m/s² 2 m/s 5 m/s² 5 m/s clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

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

Step2: Identify the values

Initial velocity $u = 3\ m/s$, final velocity $v = 7\ m/s$, and time $t = 2\ s$.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

$a=\frac{7 - 3}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ m/s^{2}$

Answer:

$2\ m/s^{2}$
