DUE IN 4 HOURS! HELP! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF DONE WITHIN THE HOUR!
Maisey is running 12mph and comes to an abrupt stop in 3 seconds when she hears her name called. What is her acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

~ 0.001 m/s^2

Explanation:

If you convert 12 miles per hour to, miles per second, it makes this easier to calculate, so do that first

12m/ 1 hour * 1 hour/ 60 mins * 1 min/ 60 sec = ~0.003333 miles per second.

Next remember that acceleration = velocity/time

So our new velocity: 0.003333 over time: 3 seconds = the acceleration.

0.003333/3 = 0.001 m/s^2
