Lisa is skateboarding at a speed of three miles
per hour. A dog starts to chase her, and she
speeds up to seven miles per hour. What is her
change in speed in miles per hour?


When Lisa increased her speed in letter c,
the increase took two seconds. What was her acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:  2 mph per second

Work Shown:

acceleration = (change in speed)/(change in time)

acceleration = (finalSpeed - initialSpeed)/(change in time)

acceleration = (7 mph - 3 mph)/(2 seconds)

acceleration = (4 mph)/(2 seconds)

acceleration = 2 mph per second

This means that for each second, Lisa increased her speed by 2 mph.

Lisa's change in speed is 4 miles per hour.

Lisa's acceleration is 2 miles per hour.

Given that,

Lisa is skateboarding at a speed of three miles  per hour.

A dog starts to chase her, and she  speeds up to seven miles per hour.

When Lisa increased her speed in letter c,  the increase took two seconds.

We have to determine,

What was her acceleration?

What is her  change in speed in miles per hour?

According to the question,

The speed of Lisa is = 3 miles per hour

A dog starts to chase her, and she  speeds up to seven miles per hour.

The change in speed after dog chase her is,

= 7 miles per hour - 3 miles per hour

= 4 miles per hour

Lisa's change in speed is 4 miles per hour.

When Lisa increased her speed in letter c,  the increase took two seconds.

Then,

The Lisa acceleration is,

[tex]\rm Acceleration = \dfrac{Change \ in \ speed }{Change \ in \ time }\\\\Acceleration = \dfrac{4}{2}\\\\Acceleration = 2 \ miles \ per \ hour[/tex]

Hence, Lisa's acceleration is 2 miles per hour.
