In order to go from rest to 50 m/s in 10 s, a jet must be able to accelerate at A) 2 m/s². B) 5 m/s². C) 20 m/s². D) 50 m/s².

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for acceleration is a = (v_f - v_i) / t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity (in this case, 0 m/s), and t is the time. Plugging in the values given, we get a = (50 m/s - 0 m/s) / 10 s = 5 m/s^2. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 5 m/s^2.
