what is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally wit an initial velocity of 20 meters/seconds and, 2.0 seconds later, a velocity of 30 meters/seconds

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a=5\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

Final velocity, v = 30 m/s

Time, t = 2 seconds

Let us assume to find the acceleration of the ball. The rate at which the velocity of the ball is changing is called the acceleration of the ball. So,

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{30-20}{2}\\\\a=5\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the ball is [tex]5\ m/s^2[/tex]
