The Black Panther is driving east on Interstate 76 at a velocity of 30 m/s when he spots an individual he is chasing and increases his velocity to 50 m/s in 5 s. What was his acceleration during this time?
An acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity compared to the change of time. To find the acceleration, use this following formula. a = [tex] \cfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} [/tex] Δ means the rate of change
Input the numbers a = [tex] \cfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} [/tex] a = [tex] \cfrac{50-30}{5} [/tex] a = [tex] \cfrac{20}{5} [/tex] a = 4
