Question

In a summer storm, the wind is blowing with a velocity of 24 m/s north. Suddenly in 3 seconds the wind's velocity is 6 m/s. What is the wind's deceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

The deceleration is $6ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity with respect to time.

$a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}\\a = \frac{24-6}{3} \\a = 6$
