The instantaneous acceleration of the object at time = 6 seconds is 2 m/s²
What is instantaneous acceleration?
This is simply defined as the ratio of change in velocity during a given time interval.
On a velocity-time graph, the instantanous acceleration is equal to the slope.
How to determine the instantaneous acceleration
From the question given, the following data were obtained:
- Change in time = 6 - 5.5 = 0.5 s
- Change in velocity = 2 -1 = 1 m/s
- Instantaneous acceleration =?
Instantaneous acceleration = slope
But,
Slope = Change in velocity / Change in time
Thus,
Instantaneous acceleration = Change in velocity / Change in time
Instantaneous acceleration = 1 / 0.5
Instantaneous acceleration = 2 m/s²
Thus, the instantaneous acceleration at time = 6 s is 2 m/s²
