Question

As Sam comes to a stop on his bike, he slows from 9.00m/s to 0.00m/s in 5.00 seconds. Find the average acceleration of Sam on his bike. Hint: It will be a negative number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0.00 m/s − 9.00 m/s) / 5.00 s

a = -1.80 m/s²
