Question

1. A skier takes off from the top of the ski run and
reaches a speed of 24 m/s in 4 seconds.
What is the skier's acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 6 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration of the skier, the following expression of kinematics must be used:

a = (v)/t

where:

v = velocity = 24 [m/s]

t = time = 4 [s]

a = 24/4 = 6 [m/s^2]
