Answer: Sprinter's average acceleration = \(1.1\frac{m}{s^2}\)
Explanation:
The formula for the average acceleration is given as follows:
\(\overline{a} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}\) --- (A)
Where,
\(v_f\) = Final velocity = \(11\frac{m}{s}\)
\(v_i\) = Initial velocity = \(0\frac{m}{s}\)
\(\Delta t\) = Elapsed time = 10 seconds
Plug the values in equation (A):
\(\overline{a} = \frac{11 - 0}{10} = 1.1\frac{m}{s^2}\)
Therefore, the sprinter's average acceleration is \(1.1\frac{m}{s^2}\).
