A snowboarder traveling at 9 meters per second snowboards to a stop at the top of a ramp in 4 seconds. What is the skateboarder’s acceleration? *

Acceleration = -9/4 meter per second square

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using first equation of motion which is

v = u + at           where

v is final velocity

u is initial velocity

a is the constant rate of acceleration

t is the time of motion of body

note: this law is applicable only when acceleration is constant.

Given

initial velocity (u) = 9m/sec

It is given that body stops at top of ramp.

when any body is not moving its velocity is 0.

As body stops and is not moving hence its velocity is 0.

it is also the final velocity

thus,

final velocity (v) = 0

t = 4 second

we have to get a

using the equation of motion, and substituting the value as given above we have

v = u + at  

0 = 9 + a*4

0 = 9 + 4a

=> 4a = -9

=>  a = -9/4

Thus, acceleration is -9/4 meter per second square.

negative sign implies that acceleration is opposite of the direction of velocity.

This, it also intuitive as body speed is decreasing, it can be understood that direction of acceleration is opposite to that of velocity

Acceleration in improper fraction .

acceleration in mixed fraction form = -(2  1/4) meter per second square.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
