Problem Solving with Kinematics Equation 1

Question

An object increases its velocity from 22 m/s to 36 m/s in 5 s. What is the acceleration of the

object?

Answer 1

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

The object changed its velocity from 22 m/s to 36 m/s which is an increase of 14 m/s

This occurred in 5 seconds so the acceleration is 14/5 = 2.8 m/s^2
