15- A racehorse coming out of the gate accelerates from rest to a velocity f 15.0 m/s due west in 1.80 s. What is its average acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer: (15 - 0)/1.8 = 8. 33m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the racehorse is 8.33 m/s²

The given parameters;

initial velocity of the racehorse, u = 0

final velocity of the racehorse, v = 15  m/s

time of motion of the horse, t = 1.8 s

The acceleration of the racehorse is calculated from change in velocity per change in time of motion as shown below;

[tex]a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{15 - 0}{1.8} \\\\a = 8.33 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the acceleration of the racehorse is 8.33 m/s²
