Question

1. a glider starts from rest (v_i=0) and accelerates for 45 seconds. the final speed of the glider is 10 m/s. find the average acceleration of the glider.

equation	substitution (plug and chug)	answer & label (# & unit)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall acceleration formula

Average acceleration is $\bar{a} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

Step2: Substitute given values

$v_i=0$, $v_f=10\ \text{m/s}$, $t=45\ \text{s}$
$\bar{a} = \frac{10 - 0}{45}$

Step3: Simplify the expression

$\bar{a} = \frac{10}{45} = \frac{2}{9}$

Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}\ \text{m/s}^2$ (or approximately $0.22\ \text{m/s}^2$)
