An automobile rolls 10 meters down a constant incline with slope .05 in 8 seconds, starting from rest. The same automobile requires 5 seconds to roll the same distance down an incline with slope .10, again starting from rest.

• At what average rate is the automobile's acceleration changing with respect to the slope of the incline?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

At slope 0.05:

‘ds = 10m

‘dt = 8s

V0 = 0

vAve = 1.25m/s

vf = 2.5m/s

a = 0.3125m/s^2

At slope 0.1:

‘ds = 10m

‘dt = 5s

V0 = 0

vAve = 2m/s

vf = 4m/s

a = 0.8m/s^2

The acceleration increased by 0.4875m/s^2 when slope increased by .05

So the acceleration increases by 0.4875m/s^2 for every .05 increase in slope, or 0.4875 / .05 = 9.75m/s^2 for every 1 increase in slope.
