Answer:
If a ball rolls down an incline with a starting velocity of 0m/s and a final velocity of 6m/s
and it takes a total of 1.4 seconds, calculate its acceleration.
Answer:
Acceleration is 4.28 m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration is change of speed in time. To solve this, we will assume that the acceleration is constant, meaning that every second the velocity increases for the same constant value.
a = ∆v/t
∆v is the difference between two measured velocities:
a = (v2 - v1) / t
v1 = 0m/s
v2 = 6m/s
t = 1.4 s
Now, we only plug in the given values:
a = (6 - 0) / 1.4
a = 6 m/s / 1.4 s
a = 4.28 m/s²
