Answer :
The x-component of the acceleration is [tex]-11.3 cm/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
This problem is an example of uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve it by using the following suvat equation:
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
where
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the displacement
t is the time
For the body in this problem, we have:
u = 11.1 cm/s is the initial velocity
The displacement is
s = -3.58 - (3.59) = -7.17 cm
While the time is
t = 2.48 s
Substituting and solving the formula for a, we find the x-component of the acceleration:
[tex]a=\frac{2s}{t^2}-\frac{2u}{t}=\frac{2(-7.17)}{(2.48)^2}-\frac{2(11.1)}{2.48}=-11.3 cm/s^2[/tex]
