It takes a soccer player 3 seconds so reduce his speed to 3.1 m/s. What is the magnitude of his acceleration?

Respuesta :

Acceleration =change in velocity/change in time.
So final speed minus initial velocity/time
3.1-v/2=a

Answer: The magnitude of his acceleration is [tex]1.033 m/s^2[/tex].

Explanation:

Final velocity of the player= v = 3.1 m/s

Initial velocity of the player = u = 0 m/s

Time taken  by the player = 3 s

Acceleration of the soccer player = a

Using first equation of the motion:

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{3.1- m/s-0 m/s}{3 s}=1.033 m/s^2[/tex]

The magnitude of his acceleration is [tex]1.033 m/s^2[/tex].
