Nia Young · Answer 1

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

Change of speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

Change of speed = (55 m/s) - (30 m/s)

Change of speed = 25 m/s

Acceleration = (25 m/s) / (12.5 seconds)

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Answer:2m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u) = 30m/s

Final velocity (v) = 55m/s

Time (t) = 12.5s

Acceleration=?

Acceleration = (v-u) / t

Acceleration = (55-30) / 12.5

Acceleration=25/12.5

Acceleration=2m/s^2
