Question

A skateboarder traveling at 7.0 meters per second rolls to a stop at the top of a ramp in 3.0 seconds. What is the skateboarder’s acceleration?

*Please only answer if you know - and ABSOLUTLEY NOOOOOOOO LINKS*
Thank you! :)

Answer 1

-2.33 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the skateboarder’s acceleration is shown below;

Acceleration means the change in velocity per unit with respect to time.

In the given case, the initial velocity is 7 m/s.

As in the question it is mentioned that it comes to a stop, so the final velocity would be zero.

And, The time elapsed is 3 seconds.

Now the following equation should be used

a = (v,final - v,initial) ÷ t

= (0 - 7)/3

= -2.33 m/s²
