Answer:
Acceleration, [tex]a=0.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The question says " A body travels with a speed of 10 m / s then increases to 15 m / s, this increase was during 0 s to 10 s, what is the acceleration of the body? ".
Initial speed, u = 10 m/s
Final speed, v = 15 m/s
Time interval, t = 10 s
We need to find the acceleration of the body. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. It can be given by the formula as follows :
[tex]a=\dfrac{15-10}{10}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the body is [tex]0.5\ m/s^2[/tex].
