a plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8,000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B with a velocity of 10,000 m/s north. Which is the plane's acceleration from A to B ?

Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change)

Change in velocity = (ending velocity) - (starting velocity)

Change in the plane's velocity = (10,000 m/s north) - (8,000 m/s north)

Change in the plane's velocity = 2,000 m/s north

Time for the change = 40 seconds

Acceleration = (2,000 m/s north) / (40 seconds)

Acceleration = 50 m/s² north

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow
