Answer:

The cart´s acceleration is 5
(m)/(s^(2) )

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that this is a case of linear motion, apply the formula described below:


(v_(1)-v_(0)  )/(t) =
( 10(m)/(s) - 0(m)/(s) )/(2s)

The formula has been written by replacing the following:

v1=10m/s, v0=0 and t=2s
