Answer :
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf a=42.8 \ m/s^2}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Acceleration can be found by dividing the change in velocity by the time.
[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex] (v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, t is the time).
The velocity increased from 22 m/s to 236 m/s in 5 seconds. Therefore:
[tex]v=236 \ m/s\\u=22 \ m/s\\t= 5 \ s[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]a=\frac{236 \ m/s - 22 \ m/s}{5 \ s}[/tex]
Subtract in the numerator.
- 236 m/s-22 m/s=214 m/s
[tex]a=\frac{214 \ m/s}{5 \ s}[/tex]
Divide.
[tex]a=42.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The acceleration of the object is 42.8 meters per square second.
