Answer:
When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.
The formula is,
Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:
a = (v-u) \ t
The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.
The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2
