A ball starts at rest and rolls down an inclined plane. The ball reaches 7.5 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation for a:

The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.

The acceleration is:
