Question

A snail travelling 1 m/hr and speeds up to 7m/hr in 2hrs. What is the acceleration?

Answer 1

Let's start from the initial acceleration formula:

$a = (V_2 - V_1)/\Delta t$

Find the acceleration of the snail:

$a = (7 - 1)/2 = 3 (m/hr^2)$

Answer: 3 m/hr² -- the acceleratin of the snail.
