Unit 1 Horizontal Kinematics Homework #3 Acceleration 1. A bowling ball starts from rest and moves 300 m down the gutter in 22.4 seconds. a) What is its speed at the end of the track? b) What is its acceleration?

Explanation:

since the object start its motion from rest and ends its motion at 300 m so

ΔS=S2-S1=300m-0m=300 m

given time is 22.4 sec therefore

v=ΔS/t

v=300/22.4=14.7 m/s

so the speed of the ball at the end of the track is 14.7 m/s

now to find the acceleration we know that

a=v/t

a=14.7/2.4

a=0.65m/sec²

explanation:

newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
