Show that the acceleration of a hamster is 5 m/s2 when it increases its velocity from rest to 10 m/s in 2 s.
a = (V-Vo)/t = (10-0)/2 = 5 m/s^2.
To show that the acceleration of a hamster is 5 m/s², we can use the formula for acceleration:
Acceleration (a) = (Change in velocity) / (Change in time)
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (rest)
Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
Time taken (t) = 2 s
Substituting the values into the acceleration formula:
Acceleration (a) = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / (2 s)
Simplifying:
Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s / 2 s
Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the hamster is 5 m/s² when it increases its velocity from rest to 10 m/s in 2 seconds.
To show that the acceleration of a hamster is 5 m/s² when it increases its velocity from rest to 10 m/s in 2 s, we can use the following formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (rest condition)
Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
Time (t) = 2 s
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
acceleration = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2 s
acceleration = 10 m/s / 2 s
acceleration = 5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the hamster is 5 m/s² when it increases its velocity from rest to 10 m/s in 2 s.
