(to the left)

Explanation:

The question is missing in the text. The complete text of the problem is:

"A skateboarder is moving to the right with a velocity of 8 m/s. After a steady gust of wind that lasts 5 s, the skateboarder is moving to the right with a velocity of 5 m/s. Assuming the acceleration is constant, what is the acceleration of the skateboarder during the 5 s time period?"

Solution:

The acceleration of the skateboarder is given by:

where

a is the acceleration

v is the final velocity after a time t

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem, taking the right as positive direction, we have:

u = +8 m/s (to the right)

v = +5 m/s (to the right)

t = 5 s

Substituting into the equation, we find

And the negative sign means the acceleration is towards the left.

i think the answer is a, hope this is right, that would be my best guess.

heat is transmitted by radiation
