HW 2.3 Acceleration-Solutions PDF
4. Yes correct
Explanation:
The acceleration is the rate of change of
velocity. Since the object is moving and its
velocity is changing, it is accelerating.
3. It is positive.
4. It is negative.
Explanation:
1. It is zero.
5. Unable to determine.
Let :

A car travels in a straight line for 3.1 h at a
constant speed of 85 km/h .
What is its acceleration?
Correct answer: 0 m/s2 .
Explanation:
The acceleration is zero since there is no
change in velocity.

A baseball goes from zero to 40 m/s in 0.206 s.
What is its average acceleration?
Correct answer: 194.175 m/s2 .
Explanation:
Let :
1. No
2. There is no way to tell from the information given.

3. Acceleration is unrelated to speed, so the
question does not make sense.
