Dean is skateboarding. He starts at a speed of 0.5 m/s and speeds up to 4.0 m/s
to go off a ramp over a time of 5.0 seconds. What is Dean's acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf a = 0.7 \ m/s^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given Data:

Initial velocity = [tex]V_i[/tex] = 0.5 m/s

Final velocity = [tex]V_f[/tex] = 4 m/s

Time = t = 5 s

Required:

Acceleration = a = ?

Formula:

[tex]\displaystyle a =\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}[/tex]

Solution:

Put the givens in the formula.

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{4-0.5}{5} \\\\a = \frac{3.5}{5} \\\\a = 0.7 \ m/s^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
