  • Calculating Acceleration and Magnitude: A Physics Problem Solved
    Here's how to calculate the acceleration and magnitude of the object:

    1. Find the Velocity:

    * Distance: 100 meters

    * Time: 10 seconds

    * Velocity = Distance / Time

    * Velocity = 100 meters / 10 seconds = 10 meters/second

    2. Find the Acceleration:

    * Initial Velocity: We'll assume the object starts from rest, so the initial velocity (v₀) is 0 m/s.

    * Final Velocity: 10 m/s (calculated above)

    * Time: 10 seconds

    * Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time

    * Acceleration = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 10 seconds = 1 meter/second²

    3. Magnitude:

    * The magnitude of the acceleration is simply the absolute value of the acceleration, which is 1 meter/second².

    Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 1 meter/second², and the magnitude of the acceleration is 1 meter/second².

    Important Note: This calculation assumes constant acceleration. In reality, an object moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s would not require any acceleration.
