Abody moving with uniform acceleration has a velocity of 15.3 cm/s when its x coordinate is 4.3 cm. if its x coordinate 1.72 s later is −2.32 cm, what is the x-component of its acceleration? answer in units of cm/s 2 .

a=-22.266cm/s^2

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =ΔX(2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

FOR THIS PROBLEM

X=-2.32cm

Xo=4.3cm

Vo=15.3cm/s

t=1.72s

WE USE THE ECUATION 3

a=(X-Xo-Vot)2/t^2

a=(-2.32-4.3-15.3x1.72)2/1.72^2

a=-22.266cm/s^2

the answer should be the first one. "many people find his lyrics very moving."

it by far makes the most grammatical sense and is very objective, removing any first person from the original sentence and keeping with the sentence fluency.

jenkins wanted the narrator to write a ghost story for his magazine. he wanted the narrator to give the readers a story based on the supernatural. he wanted him to give the readers real 'horror' stories and not the type of live ghosts which he had presented in his earlier stories.
