Answer:

B) 3.33 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of Juan, u = 10 m/s

Final velocity of Juan, v = 60 m/s

Time taken, t = 15 s

The acceleration is given by the relation

a = v-u/t m/s²

Substituting in the above equation

a = 60 - 10 / 15

a = 3.33 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the Juan is, a = 3.33 m/s²
