During a sprint, a basketball player is traveling at +3 m/s. Four seconds later, the player is traveling at –5 m/s. The average acceleration of the basketball player over the last 4 seconds is:

the average acceleration of the basketball player over the last 4 seconds is 0.5 m/sec^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average acceleration is shown below:

= Change in velocity ÷ change in time

= 5 - 3 ÷ 4

= 2 ÷ 4

= 0.5 m/sec ^2

Hence, the average acceleration of the basketball player over the last 4 seconds is 0.5 m/sec^2

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
