Question

Hannah is cycling down a hill. Her velocity increases by 1 m/s1 m/s in 3 s3 s. Calculate Hannah's acceleration: 𝑎=Δ𝑣Δ𝑡a= ΔtΔv​

Solution

The formula for acceleration is a = Δv/Δt.

In this case, Hannah's velocity (v) increases by 1 m/s over a time (t) of 3 seconds.

So, Δv = 1 m/s and Δt = 3 s.

Substitute these values into the formula:

a = Δv/Δt = 1 m/s / 3 s = 0.33 m/s².

So, Hannah's acceleration is 0.33 m/s².
