after traveling for 6.0 seconds, a runner reaches a speed of 10m/s. what is the runners acceleration? my answer is 60m/s , is that correct?
correct,
assuming the runner starts from rest
your answer should be in m/s^2
so what would 60m/s be in m/s^2?
60m/s^2
No, your answer is not correct. To find the runner's acceleration, we first need to determine the initial velocity, final velocity, and the time it took to reach the final velocity.
You have given the time it took to reach the final velocity, which is 6.0 seconds. However, you didn't provide the initial velocity. Without the initial velocity, we cannot calculate the acceleration accurately.
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time taken. In this case, since we don't have the initial velocity, we cannot determine the change in velocity accurately. Therefore, we cannot calculate the runner's acceleration with the given information.
If you have the initial velocity, please provide it so we can help you calculate the acceleration correctly.
