An object has a speed of 2.00 m/s. Three seconds later, it is going 8.00 m/s. What average acceleration did it experience?

A. 2.00 m/s²
B. 3.00 m/s²
C. 2.00 m/s²
D. 6.00 m/s²

Answer :

Final answer:

The average acceleration experienced by the object is 2.00 m/s².

Explanation:

The average acceleration can be calculated using the formula:

average acceleration = change in velocity / change in time

Given that the initial velocity is 2.00 m/s and the final velocity is 8.00 m/s, and the change in time is 3 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:

average acceleration = (8.00 m/s - 2.00 m/s) / 3 s = 2.00 m/s²

Therefore, the average acceleration experienced by the object is 2.00 m/s².
