While playing her soccer game, Samantha runs down the field at 10 meters per second. She has a constant speed and does not change direction. What is Samantha’s acceleration?(1 point)
Responses
The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity increased.
The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity increased.
The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity increased.
The correct response is: The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The correct response is: The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The acceleration can be calculated using the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
In this case, Samantha has a constant speed, meaning her velocity does not change. Therefore, her initial velocity and final velocity are the same.
Since her velocity does not change (10 m/s), the numerator in the formula becomes 0. Dividing by time (which is not provided in the question) would still result in an acceleration of 0 m/s^2.
So, the correct response is:
The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
