Ashark is swimming at 10 m/s west when it spots some floating bait caught in some seaweed straight ahead. after 10 s, and traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s, the shark reaches the bait. what was the shark's average acceleration? a. 0.5 m/s² b. 0.5 m/s² east c. 0.5 m/s² west d. 10 m/s²

C.0.5 m/s² west

Explanation:

The shark's average acceleration is given by:

where

v = 15 m/s west is the final velocity

u = 10 m/s west is the initial velocity

t = 10 s is the time taken

Substituting data into the equation, we find:

and since the acceleration is positive, it means that it is in the same direction as the velocity, so west.
