A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the lizard's acceleration?

Asked by LissaShelnutt196

Answer (2)

Acceleration is change in velocity over time:
a = change in v / t a = (10-2) / 4 a = 8 /4 = 2 m/s^2

The lizard's acceleration is calculated to be 2 m/s², indicating that it increases its speed by this amount every second during the 4-second duration. This calculation is derived from the change in velocity divided by the time taken. Thus, the lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds with a steady acceleration.
