Answer:


2 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:


a=(v-u)/(\Delta t)

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity


\Delta t is the time interval

For the body in the problem, we have:


u=10 m/s at t = 1 s


v=48 m/s at t = 20 s

So the time interval is


\Delta t = 20 -1 = 19 s

And so, the acceleration is


a=(48-10)/(19)=2 m/s^2
