(a) a = (11-13 m/s)/2.4s = -2/2.4 m/s^2
(b) v = 11 - at, so use t=1.5
An Australian emu is running due north in a straight line at a speed of 13.0 m/s and slows down to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 2.40 s. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of the bird’s acceleration? (b) Assuming that the acceleration remains the same, what is the bird’s velocity after an additional 1.50 s has elapsed?
