Answer:
<h2>a)
Nathan's acceleration is 5 m/s²
</h2><h2>b)
Nathan's displacement during this time interval is 15.625 m</h2><h2>
c) Nathan's average velocity during this time interval is 6.25 m/s</h2>
Explanation:
a) We have equation of motion v = u + at
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Final velocity, v = 12.5 m/s
Time, t = 2.5 s
Substituting
v = u + at
1.25 = 0 + a x 2.5
a = 5 m/s²
Nathan's acceleration is 5 m/s²
b) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = 5 m/s²
Time, t = 2.5 s
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 2.5 + 0.5 x 5 x 2.5²
s = 15.625 m
Nathan's displacement during this time interval is 15.625 m
c) Displacement = 15.625 m
Time = 2.5 s
We have
Displacement = Time x Average velocity
15.625 = 2.5 x Average velocity
Average velocity = 6.25 m/s
Nathan's average velocity during this time interval is 6.25 m/s
