Answer:
The skateboarder's acceleration is -2.33 m/s².
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is a magnitude that indicates how the speed of the object changes in a unit of time. That is, acceleration is the change in speed in a unit of time.
Acceleration is calculated as the relationship between the variation or change in the speed of a mobile and the time used for said change:
[tex]acceleration=\frac{change in the speed}{time}=\frac{final speed - initial speed}{time}[/tex]
In this case:
Replacing:
[tex]acceleration=\frac{0 m/s - 7 m/s}{3 s}[/tex]
and solving you get:
acceleration= -2.33 m/s²
The skateboarder's acceleration is -2.33 m/s².
