A fox runs at a speed of 16 m/s and then stops to eat a rabbit. If this all took 120 seconds, what was his acceleration?

a = 52s²

Explanation:

How to find acceleration

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.

Solve

We know initial velocity (u = 16), velocity (v = 120) and acceleration (a = ?)

We first need to solve the velocity equation for time (t):

v = u + at

v - u = at

(v - u)/a = t

Plugging in the known values we get,

t = (v - u)/a

t = (16 m/s - 120 m/s) -2/s2

t = -104 m/s / -2 m/s2

t = 52 s

hotter stars = bluer stars

t = 1/400 h   ⇔ 0.0025 h ⇔ 9s ⇔ 0.15 m

any of the answers are correct.
