Respuesta :

an Olympic sprinter can go from a state of rest to 11 meters per second in 10 seconds. 1.1 m/s² is the average acceleration of the sprinter

Answer

Average accleration is 1.1 m/s² .

Option (D) is correct .

Explanation:

Formula

[tex]Average\ accleration = \frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}}[/tex]

As given

An Olympic sprinter can go from a state of rest to 11 meters per second in 10 seconds.

[tex]v_{initial} = 0\ meter\ per\ second[/tex]

[tex]v_{final} = 11\ meter\ per\ second[/tex]

[tex]t_{initial} = 0\ second[/tex]

[tex]t_{final} = 10\ second[/tex]

Putting all the values in the formula

[tex]Average\ accleration = \frac{11-0}{10-0}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ accleration = \frac{11}{10}[/tex]

Average accleration = 1.1 meter per second²

Therefore Average accleration is 1.1 m/s² .

Option (D) is correct .
