Answer:
Acceleration, [tex]a=9.4\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of the pumpkin, u = 0
Final speed of the pumpkin, v = 47 m/s
Time taken, t = 5 seconds
Acceleration of an object is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{47\ m/s}{5\ s}[/tex]
[tex]a=9.4\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the pumpkin is [tex]9.4\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
