Ahandball is hot toward a wall with a velocity of 13.7 m/s in the forward direction. it returns with a velocity of 11.5 m/s in the backward direction. if the time interval during which the ball is accelerated is 0.021s, what is the handballs average acceleration?

1200 m/s2

Explanation:

a = (v-u) / t

where a = acceleration

           v = final velocity

           u = initial velocity

           t = time taken

As velocity is a vector it is having a direction. So as the ball bumps out in the opposite direction which it was thrown, the sign of the velocities must be different from each other.

Consider u = -13.7 m/s

then         v = +11.5 m/s

                t =0.021 s

Applying in the above equation,

a =  (11.5-(-13.7))/0.021 = 25.2/0.021 = 1200 m/s2

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
