To calculate the acceleration of the NFL caliber wide receiver, we can use the equation:
a = (vf - vi) / t
where:
a = acceleration
vf = final velocity = 10.0 m/s
vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s
t = time = 2.4 s
Plugging in the values, we get:
a = (10.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2.4 s
a = 10.0 m/s / 2.4 s
a = 4.17 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the NFL caliber wide receiver during this time is 4.17 m/s^2.
An NFL caliber wide receiver can reach a top speed of 10.0 m/s in only 2.4 s. What is their acceleration during this time?
