Ariel dropped a golf ball from her second-story window. The ball starts from rest and hits the sidewalk 1.5 seconds later with the velocity of 14.7 M/S find the average acceleration of the golf ball
To find the average acceleration of the golf ball, we can use the formula:
average acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Where:
- final velocity = 14.7 m/s (given)
- initial velocity = 0 m/s (since the ball starts from rest)
- time = 1.5 seconds (given)
Using the formula, we can calculate:
average acceleration = (14.7 m/s - 0 m/s) / 1.5 s
average acceleration = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore, the average acceleration of the golf ball is 9.8 m/s².
