A child sleds down a snow-covered hill for 5.5 seconds. If her initial speed is 0.0 m/s and her final speed is 15.5 m/s, what was the acceleration?

2.82 m/s^2 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration = change of velocity / time

= (15.5 - 0)/5.5

= 2.818 m / s^2

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
