An object, initially at rest, moves 250 m in 17 s. What is its acceleration?

The acceleration of this object is 1.730 meter per seconds square.

Given the following data:

To find the acceleration of this object, we  would use the second equation of motion.

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

Where:

Substituting the given values into the formula, we have;

Acceleration, a = 1.730

Therefore, the acceleration of this object is 1.730 meter per seconds square.

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²
