Question

islas change in velocity is 30 m/s over 5 seconds. hazel has the same change in velocity, but it takes her 10 seconds to achieve it. which best explains why they would have different accelerations? o isla had negative acceleration, and hazel had positive. o islas change in velocity occurred over a shorter time than hazels. o isla had positive acceleration, and hazel had negative. o isla went a farther distance than hazel.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time taken. Since both have the same change in velocity but different times (Isla takes 5 seconds and Hazel takes 10 seconds), the time - factor affects the acceleration value. A shorter time for the same velocity - change results in a higher acceleration.

Answer:

Isla's change in velocity occurred over a shorter time than Hazel's.
