A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 50.0 m/s. Neglect air
resistance. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the projectile
3.00 sec after it is fired?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using the following equation:
A=(V-Vo)/(T-To)
I set up the variables in the following way:
a = ?
Vo = 0 m/s
V = 50.0 m/s
To = 0 sec
T = 3 sec
When I do the math, the answer comes out to be 16.6 m/s. Can anybody verify that I did this problem correctly? If not then can anybody let me know where I might have gone wrong and pioint me toward the right track?
Thanks!
