ANSWER: 0.94 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------

WHAT IS ACCELERATION:

  • It is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

FORMULA (you can use any of the following):

  • acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time
  • a = [tex]\frac{vf-vi}{t}[/tex]
  • (can be read as: acceleration equal final speed minus initial speed divided by time)

The unit of measurement of acceleration is [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex], [tex]km/h^{2}[/tex], etc...

-------------------------------------------------

TIME TO SOLVE!

  • Let's use the formula: a = [tex]\frac{vf - vi}{t}[/tex]

INITIAL VELOCITY: 10 m/s

  • 10 m/s is the automobile's initial velocity.

FINAL VELOCITY: 25 m/s

  • 25 m/s is the automobile's final velocity.

TIME: 16 s

  • 16 s is the elapsed time.
  • Substitute those values in the formula.

a = [tex]\frac{25m/s-10m/s}{16s}[/tex]

  • Subtract 25 to 10.

a = [tex]\frac{15m/s}{16}[/tex]

  • Divide 15 to 16.

a = 0.9375

Therefore, the acceleration is 0.94 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

  • Rounded down to the nearest hundredths. You can undo the rounding down if needed.
