ACCELERATION
[tex] \color{darkblue} \mathbb{ANSWER:}[/tex]
- Yes, the acceleration of the sprinter is 1.8 but it should be measured in meters per second squared.
[tex] \color{darkblue} \mathbb{EXPLANATION:}[/tex]
— The formula for acceleration is given by:
- [tex] \underline{ \boxed{ \tt a = \frac{F}{m} }}[/tex]
where,
- a is the acceleration measured in meters per second squared (m/s²)
- F is the net Force (Newtons/N)
- m is the mass (kilograms/kg)
---------
— To get the acceleration, divide the given net force by the given mass. Its quotient is the acceleration that should be measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Using our formula/equation, we get:
- [tex] \tt a = \frac{F}{m} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tt \: a = \frac{126 \:N }{70 \: kg} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tt \: a = \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \tt \: 1.8 \: m/s²}}}[/tex]
[tex] \color{darkblue} \mathbb{FINAL \: \: ANSWER:}[/tex]
- [tex]\bold{1.8 \: m/s²} \\ [/tex]
