Jason is running with an initial velocity of 7.2 m/s [N]. He swerves to avoid a tackle, and after 2.0 s, is moving at 7.2 m/s [W]. His average acceleration over the time interval is:
Added by Vincent W.
Step 1
The change in velocity is the final velocity minus the initial velocity. Δv = vf - vi Δv = 7.2 m/s [W] - 7.2 m/s [N] Δv = 0 m/s [W] Show more…
