A student on a bicycle decided to determine his acceleration when coasting down a steep hill. The student started from a full stop and reached a velocity of 8.75 m/s in 3.8 s. What was his average acceleration? Assume that downhill is the positive direction.

A=2.2

Explanation:

You have to lay everything out first.

You are given the:

Velocity and the time

V=8.75m/s

t=3.8s  

Now you need to know what you are looking for, and that is the average acceleration.

Write down the formula (teachers like this)

A=v/t

Now calculate:

8.75/3.8= 2.3026315789473

You can now round down since the number next to the decimal is below 5

The number of significant digits will be 2 because that is the lowest number in the question. This means you will only need to display 2 numbers.

The final answer will be:

A=2.2

I hope this helped, goodluck! :D

think its the third option
