A baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 5.6 m/s when she decides to hit the dirt. She slides for 1.5 s , just reaching the plate as she stops (safe, of course). Calculate the acceleration.

Respuesta :

ANSWER:

-3.73 m/s^2

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and we can calculate it as follows:

[tex]a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}[/tex]

Replacing:

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{0-5.6}{1.5} \\ a=-3.73m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The baseball's player's deceleration is 3.73 m/s^2
