acceleration = (change in speed)/(change in time)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

that formula will help you get the answer

@jim_thompson5910  is that the answer because i dont get it

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

focus on the speeds for now

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what is the difference in those speeds?

anonymous · Answer

264 is greater then o ft/s ?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know im not very good in math \

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the change in speed is simply 263 - 0 = 263

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Change in time is 6-0 = 6 seconds

anonymous · Answer

ooh that was easy

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

acceleration = (change in speed)/(change in time)

acceleration = (263)/(6)

acceleration = 43.833

don't forget the units for acceleration

the 43.833 is approximate
