The acceleration of the ship is –0.0012 m/s²
What is acceleration?
This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as
a = (v – u) / t
Where
- a is the acceleration
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity
- t is the time
How to de terminate final velocity
- Displacement = 2200 m east
- Time = 425 s
- Velocity = ?
Velocity = displacement / time
Velocity = 2200 / 425
Velocity = 5.2 m/s
How to determine the acceleration of the ship
The acceleration of the ship can be obtained as follow:
- Initial velocity (u) = 5.7 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 5.2 m/s
- Time (t) = 425 s
- Acceleration (a) =?
a = (v – u) / t
a = (5.2 – 5.7) / 425
a = –0.5 / 425
a = –0.0012 m/s²
