Answer:
[tex]a=40\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of a shuttlecock, u = 30 m/s
Final speed of the shuttlecock, v = 10 m/s
Time, t = 0.5 s
We need to find its average acceleration. The acceleration of an object is equal to the change in speed divided by time taken. It is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{10-30}{0.5}\\\\a=-40\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the average acceleration of badminton shuttlecock is [tex]40\ m/s^2[/tex].
