A rock is rolling down a hill. at position 1, its velocity is 2.0 m/s. twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, its velocity is 44 m/s. what is its acceleration?
Acceleration, a = Change in Velocity / time
= (v - u) / t
v = final velocity = 44.0 m/s, u = initial velocity = 2.0 m/s, time , t = 12 s
Acceleration, a = (v - u) / t = (44 - 2) / 12
= 42/12
= 3.5
Acceleration, a = 3.5 m/s²
Hope this helps.
