We can use the equation of motion d = Vi*t + (1/2)*a*t^2 to solve for a.
Given:
Vi = 0 m/s (initial velocity)
t = 3.25 s (time)
d = 15 m (displacement)
Using the equation: d = Vi*t + (1/2)*a*t^2
15 = (0)*(3.25) + (1/2)*a*(3.25)^2
This simplifies to:
15 = 0 + (1/2)*a*(10.5625)
Rearranging the equation:
(1/2)*a*(10.5625) = 15
Dividing both sides by (1/2)*10.5625:
a = 15 / (0.5 * 10.5625)
a = 15 / 5.28125
a ≈ 2.841 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration is approximately 2.841 m/s^2.
Given:
Vi=0m/s
d=15m
