Use the equation for acceleration to determine the acceleration for the following motion.

Question

Time(s) 0 1 2 3 4
Velocity(m/s) 0 2 4 6 8

Answer 1

acceleration=changevelocity/time

from time 0 to 1
a= (2/1)=2m/s^2
from time 1 to 2
a= (2/1)=2m/s^2

from time 2 to 4
a= (4/2)=2m/s^2

from time 0 to time 4
a= 8/4=2m/s^2
