The Black Panther is driving east on Interstate 76 at a velocity of 30 m/s when he spots an individual he is chasing and increases his velocity to 50 m/s in 5 s. What was his acceleration during this time?

Respuesta :

An acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity compared to the change of time. To find the acceleration, use this following formula.
a = [tex] \cfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} [/tex]
Δ means the rate of change

Input the numbers
a = [tex] \cfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} [/tex]
a = [tex] \cfrac{50-30}{5} [/tex]
a = [tex] \cfrac{20}{5} [/tex]
a = 4

The acceleration is 4 m/s²
