Velocity squared versus displacement for a sprinter.
Velocity squared versus displacement for a sprinter.
A sprinter starts from rest at time \(t = 0\) and accelerates at a constant rate along a straight track. An observer records the sprinter's displacement \(x\) and velocity \(v\) at various intervals. The graph below shows the square of the sprinter's velocity as a function of their displacement.

Based on the data in the graph, what is the magnitude of the sprinter's acceleration?
