Answer:
[tex]a = 0.83 {ms}^{ - 2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The walking has an initial velocity of 0m/s.
After 6 seconds he is now traveling at 5m/s.
So we use the equation:
[tex]v = u + at[/tex]
where u=0 m/s is the initial velocity, v=5m/s is the final velocity, and t=6 seconds is the time.
We substitute to get:
[tex]5 = 0 + 6a[/tex]
[tex]6a = 5[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]
[tex]a = 0.83 {ms}^{ - 2} [/tex]
