A rock is rolled in the sand. It starts at 5.0 m/s, moves in

astraight line for a distance of 3.0 m, and then stops. What is

themagnitude of the average acfeleration?

magnitude of the average acceleration is 4.16 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

initial velocity u = 5 m/s

distance s = 3 m

final velocity v = 0

to find out

magnitude of the average acceleration

solution

we will apply here linear motion equation that is

v²-u² = 2*a*s ... 1

put here all these value

v is final velocity and u is initial velocity and s is distance

0²-5² = 2*a*3

a = - 4.16

so magnitude of the average acceleration is 4.16 m/s²
