In 1991 at smith college, in massachusetts, ferdie adoboe ran 1.00 × 102 m backward in 13.6 s. suppose it takes adoboe 2.00 s to achieve a velocity equal to her average velocity during the run. find her average acceleration during the first 2.00 s.

as it is given that it covers a total distance 1 * 10^2 m

total time taken by it = 13.6 s

now the average speed is given as ratio of total distance and total time

so the average speed will be 7.35 m/s

now if it starts from rest and achieve the final speed as 7.35 m/s

now we can use kinematics

so its acceleration will be 3.68 m/s^2

that would be because of both gravity and friction. so     c
