Respuesta :

Answer:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

Explanation:

I ASSUME that we are finding the acceleration based on the position change of 1.06 m in the given times and starting from rest.

The average time is one sixth of the sum of the six times or

16.96 / 6 = 2.8266666666... s

now just plug into d = ½at²   because the origin is the starting point and initial velocity is zero (assumption)

a = 2d/t²

a = 2(1.06)/2.8266666666²

a = 0.265330188... m/s²

round as appropriate
