Answer:
[tex]x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of the skateboarder, [tex]v_o=10.4\ m/s[/tex]
It speeds up for 39 meters over a 3.3 seconds. Let a is the acceleration of the skateboarder over the 3.3 s time interval. To find the acceleration of the skateboarder we can use the second equation of motion. The kinematic formula that can be used is as follows :
[tex]x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Here, x = 39 meters
[tex]v_o=10.4\ m/s[/tex]
t = 3.3 seconds
By rearranging the above equation, we can find the value of a. So, the correct option is (c).
