Moby travels down a halfpipe on his skateboard in five seconds. His speed at the bottom is 10 m/s. What was his acceleration?
Please Answer Soon!!!!
I do not know.
2m/s (square it)
To solve this problem, we can use the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
We are given the final velocity as 10 m/s, and the time as 5 seconds. However, we need to find the initial velocity.
Since Moby is traveling down a halfpipe, we can assume that his initial velocity is 0 m/s. This is because at the top of the halfpipe, Moby momentarily comes to a stop before starting to gain speed on his way down.
By substituting the values into the formula, we get:
acceleration = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5 s
Simplifying this expression, we find:
acceleration = 10 m/s / 5 s
Now, dividing 10 m/s by 5 s, we get:
acceleration = 2 m/s²
Therefore, Moby's acceleration down the halfpipe is 2 m/s².
