Question

A turtle swimming in a straight line toward shore has a speed of 0.50 m/sec. After 4.0 seconds, its speed is at 0.90 m/sec. What is the turtle's acceleration?​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1m/s²

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

V = u+at

V is the final speed = 0.9m/s

Initial speed u = 0.5m/s

Time = 4secs

Get the acceleration

0.9 = 0 5+4a

0.9-0.5 = 4a

0.4 = 4a

a = 0.4/4

a = 0.1m/s²

Hence the acceleration is 0.1m/s²
