v₀ = initial speed of the blood = 0 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
v = final speed of the blood = 0.76 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
a = average acceleration of red blood cell
t = time of contraction = 250 ms = 0.250 s since 1 ms = 0.001 s
Using the equation
v = v₀ + a t
inserting the values
0.76 = 0 + a (0.250)
a = 3.04 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
