    Acceleration = (final velocity-initial v.) / time

    = (0-39) / 9

    = - 4.33m/s^2

    Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

    Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (zero - 39 m/s) = - 39 m/s

    time for the change = 9 seconds

    Acceleration = (-39 m/s) / (9 seconds)

    Acceleration = - 4.33 m/s²
