Aden Reyes · Answer 1

8m/s^2

Explanation: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Hence, mathematically

Acceleration = {Velocity (meters/second) } / time (seconds)

This means that

{40 (m/s) } / (5 sec)

=8m/s^2

Isaias Rowland · Answer 2

Answer: 8 m/s2

Explanation: Acceleration is calculated by V1 - V2 / time. 40m/s - 0m/s divided by 5 s = 8 m/s2
