Answer:

-4.0 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity:


a=(v-u)/(t)

where

v is the final velocity

u is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

For the object in this problem,

u = 65 m/s

v = 25 m/s

t = 10 s

So the acceleration is


a=(25 m/s-65 m/s)/(10 s)=-4.0 m/s^2

The negative sign tells that the acceleration is opposite (=west) to the velocity (which is towards east).
