Question

1. If an object starts at 0 m/s and 0.0001 seconds later the object is travelling at

400 m/s what is the objects acceleration?

Answer 1

4 x 10⁶m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Time = 0.0001s

Final velocity = 400m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the object = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

Acceleration =
`(Final velocity - Initial velocity )/(Time )`

Acceleration =
`(400 - 0)/(0.0001)` = 4 x 10⁶m/s²
