A cow is walking at a velocity of 1 m/s and speeds up to 8 m/s in 7 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the cow. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a=1\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 1 m/s

Final velocity, v = 8 m/s

Time, t = 7 s

We need to find the acceleration of the cow. Let it is a. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. Its formula is :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{8-1}{7}\\\\a=1\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the cow is [tex]1\ m/s^2[/tex].
