To calculate the average acceleration, the first step is to calculate the speed and time variation.
Data:
A = (acceleration) = ?
ΔV = (Vf - Vi)
Vi (Initial velocity) = 7 m/s
Vf (Final velocity) = 16 m/s
Δt (period) = 5s
Solving:
\(A = \frac{\Delta\:V}{\Delta\;T}\)
\(A = \frac{Vf - Vi}{\Delta\:T}\)
\(A = \frac{16 - 7}{5}\)
\(A = \frac{9}{5}\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{A = 1.8\:m/s^2}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark\)
