A spider accelerates from a standstill to 5m/s in 10s. What is its acceleration?

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity = 5m/s

Time = 10 seconds

Since the spider started from rest, its initial velocity is equal to 0m/s

To find the acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Where,

a is acceleration measured in

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in

t is time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²
