a football player starts from rest and speeds up to a final velocity of 12 m/s. the speeding up takes a total of 6 seconds. what is the football players acceleration

2 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 12 m/s

Time (t) = 6 s

Acceleration (a) =?

The acceleration of the player can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

12 = 0 + (a × 6)

12 = 6a

Divide both side by 6

a = 12 / 6

a = 2 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the player is 2 m/s²
