Answer: Sprinter's average acceleration = [tex]1.1\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
The formula for the average acceleration is given as follows:
[tex]\overline{a} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}[/tex] --- (A)
Where,
[tex]v_f[/tex] = Final velocity = [tex]11\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]v_i[/tex] = Initial velocity = [tex]0\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta t[/tex] = Elapsed time = 10 seconds
Plug the values in equation (A):
[tex]\overline{a} = \frac{11 - 0}{10} = 1.1\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Therefore, the sprinter's average acceleration is [tex]1.1\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex].
