    Magnitude of acceleration =

    (change in speed) / (time for the change).

    Magnitude of Carly's acceleration =

    (8 m/s) / (3 sec) = 2-2/3 m/s²

    Magnitude of Soul Train's acceleration =

    (30 m/s) / (8 sec) = 3.75 m/s².

    Soul Train's acceleration is about 41% greater than Carly's.
