Question 3 An object accelerates uniformly from 3.0 meters per second east to 8.0 meters per second east in 2.0 seconds. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object? a. 2. 5 푚/푠 2 b. 5. 0 푚/푠 2 c. 5. 5 푚/푠 2 d. 11 푚/푠 2

1 answer

To find the magnitude of the acceleration, we can use the formula:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

acceleration = (8.0 m/s - 3.0 m/s) / 2.0 s
acceleration = 5.0 m/s / 2.0 s
acceleration = 2.5 m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 2.5 m/s^2.

Answer: a. 2.5 m/s^2
