An Olympic sprinter can go from a state of rest to 11 meters per second in 10 seconds. What is the sprinters average acceleration? A. 1.1 m/s^2 B. 110 m/s^2 C. 0.9 m/s D. 110 m/s

Respuesta :

The average acceleration of the Olympic sprinter can be calculated by dividing its speed with the given time. Mathematically,
                        average acceleration = 11 m/s / 10 s
This gives us the answer of 1.1 m/s^2. Thus, the answer is letter A. 

Answer:

Option A

The sprinter's average acceleration is [tex]1.1m/s^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:  

The sprinter's average acceleration can be found by means of the kinematic equation that corresponds to a Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion.

[tex]a = \frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t}[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]v_{2}[/tex] is the final velocity and [tex]v_{1}[/tex] is the initial velocity

The initial velocity of the sprinter will be zero ([tex]v_{1} = 0[/tex]) since she starts from a state of rest.

[tex]a = \frac{11m/s-0m/s}{10s}[/tex]

[tex]a = 1.1m/s^{2}[/tex]  

Hence, the sprinter's average acceleration is [tex]1.1m/s^{2}[/tex]
