Solution

The equation for acceleration is a = Δv / t, where a is acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and t is the time it takes for this change.

In this case, Boris changes his speed from 1.5 m/s to 3 m/s, so Δv = 3 m/s - 1.5 m/s = 1.5 m/s.

The time it takes for this change is 1.5 seconds.

Substituting these known values into the equation gives a = 1.5 m/s / 1.5 s = 1 m/s².

So, Boris' acceleration is 1 m/s².

An object is thrown upward and reaches a height of 45 meters. It had an initial velocity of 30 m/s. What was the acceleration acting on the object?Given: 𝑠=45 ms=45m, 𝑢=30 m/su=30m/sRequired: 𝑎a (acceleration)

To find the acceleration, we need to use the formula for acceleration which is: a = Δv / Δt where: a is acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the change in time. Step 1: Find the change in velocity (Δv) The change in velocity is the final velocity minus the initial velocity. In this case, the final velocity is 10 m/s and the initial velocity is 25 m/s. So, Δv = vf - vi = 10 m/s - 25 m/s = -15 m/s The negative sign indicates that the velocity is decreasing. Step 2: Find the change in time (Δt) The change in time is given as 5 seconds. Step 3: Substitute Δv and Δt into the acceleration formula a = Δv / Δt = -15 m/s / 5 s = -3 m/s² So, the acceleration of the particle is -3 m/s². The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed downwards, opposite to the direction of motion. ####
