an ice skater is moving at a speed of 2 mi/hr when she slams into a wall 0.05 hours later. what is her acceleration?

Respuesta :

[tex] v_{f} = v_{0}+at[/tex]
at [tex]v_{f}=0[/tex]
[tex]v_{0}=at[/tex]
[tex]-2=0.05a[/tex]
[tex]a= \frac{-2}{0.05} =-40mi/hr[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Answer:

0.00497m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time. Mathematically,

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Given velocity = 2miles/hour

Converting mi/hr to m/s,

1mi/hr = 0.447m/s

2mi/hr = 2×0.447

= 0.894m/s

Time taken to slam into a wall = 0.05hours

Converting this to seconds will give;

0.05×60×60

= 180seconds

Acceleration = 0.894/180

Acceleration = 0.00497m/s²
