Select the correct answer. A hailstone traveling with a velocity of 43meters/second comes to a virtual stop 0.28 seconds after hitting water. What is the magnitude of its acceleration in the water? A. 12meters/second^2 B 1.5times 10^2meters/second^2 C. 78.6meters/second^2 D. 6.5times 10^-3meters/second^2

To find the magnitude of the acceleration, we can use the formula: where is the acceleration, is the change in velocity, and is the change in time.Given:Initial velocity ( ) = 43 meters/secondFinal velocity ( ) = 0 meters/second (since it comes to a virtual stop)Time ( ) = 0.28 secondsNow, let's calculate the change in velocity ( ): Next, we can calculate the magnitude of the acceleration: Since we are looking for the magnitude of the acceleration, we take the absolute value: Therefore, the correct answer is:B.
