A slug traveling at 3 mm/h, East decided to race the slug next to him increasing his velocity to 5 mm/h, East in one hour. What was the slug's acceleration?

Respuesta :

The Acceleration of  slug  would be 2 mm/hr²

Step by step Explanation:

Given of the solution

Initial velocity of the slug,(we can represent as [tex]v_{i}[/tex])  [tex]v_{i}[/tex]= 3 mm/hr

Final velocity of the slug,(we can represent as [tex]v_{f}[/tex] ) [tex]v_{f}[/tex]= 5 mm/hr

Time, t = 1 hr

Acceleration, a = ?

We know,

[tex]a = \frac{(5-3)}{1} \\\\a = 2 mm/hr^2[/tex]

Therefore, The Acceleration of  slug would be 2 mm/hr²
