Question
An object travels 8 meters in the 1st second, 8 meters again during the 2nd second, and 8 meters during the 3rd second. What is its acceleration?*8m/s25m/s210m/s20
Solution
The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In this case, the object is traveling at a constant speed of 8 meters per second for each second. This means the velocity of the object is not changing over time. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 0 m/s².
