A skateboard is moving to the right with a velocity of 8 m/s after a steady Gust of wind that last 5 seconds the skateboarder is moving to the right with a velocity of 5 m/s assuming the acceleration is constant what is the acceleration of the skateboard during the five second time.

The acceleration of the skateboard is [tex]-0.6 m/s^2[/tex] (to the left)Explanation:The motion of the skateboard is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:[tex]v=u+at[/tex]wherev is the final velocityu is the initial velocitya is the accelerationt is the timeFor the skateboard in this problem, choosing right as positive direction, we have:u = +8 m/s is the initial velocityv = +5 m/s is the final velocityt = 5 s is the timeSolving for a, we find the acceleration:[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{5-8}{5}=-0.6 m/s^2[/tex]And since the sign is negative, the direction is to the left.Learn more about acceleration here:brainly.com/question/9527152brainly.com/question/11181826brainly.com/question/2506873brainly.com/question/2562700#LearnwithBrainly
