Usain Bolt ran 100 m in 9.58 s, reaching a final speed of 12.43 m/s. What was his acceleration?

1.3m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 100m

Time taken  = 9.58s

Final speed  = 12.43m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time; to solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equation;

   v  = u + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

 u  = 0m/s

Insert the parameters and solve;

      12.43  = 0 + a x 9.58

     12.43  = 9.58a

       a  =   = 1.3m/s²

false

explanation:

boats, things on boats luggage are way more heavy then water.

multiply 2kg by latent heat of vap
