Question

A FISH IS SWIMMING AT A SPEED OF 2 M/S

WHEN HE NOTICES A SHARK APPEAR BEHIND
HIM. FIVE SECONDS LATER, THE FISH IS
SWIMMING AT A SPEED OF 5 M/S. WHAT WAS
ACCELERATION OF THE FISH?

Answer 1

0.6 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

initial speed: 2 m/2

final speed: 5 m/s

time: 5 s

acceleration = (change in speed)/time

acceleration = (5 m/s - 2 m/s)/(5 s)

a = 3/5 m/s²

a = 0.6 m/s²
