Physics

To find the average acceleration of the ball, we can use the formula for acceleration:

Where:

is the final velocity (after rebounding, it moves to the left at a speed of 2 m/s, so it will be -2 m/s)

is the initial velocity (3 m/s to the right, so it will be +3 m/s)

is the time interval (0.1 s)

Substituting in the values:
