Answer :
Answer: Finley, Xander, Max
Explanation:
The acceleration of each runner is given by:
[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
- Xander: his acceleration is [tex]a=\frac{4.5 m/s-0}{3.5 s}=1.29 m/s^2[/tex]
- Finley: his acceleration is [tex]a=\frac{3.6 m/s-0}{4.2 s}=0.86 m/s^2[/tex]
- Max: his acceleration is [tex]a=\frac{7.3 m/s-0}{1.2 s}=6.08 m/s^2[/tex]
So, in order from least to most acceleration:
Finley, Xander, Max
