Answer:

The graph is missing, but ill try to answer this anyway.

The acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity; this means that if you know the velocity as a function of time; v(t), you can obtain the acceleration a(t) by differentiate v(t) with respect to time; this is:

a(t) = dv(t)/dt

Them if you have a graph of velocity versus time, you can find the equation of v(t) and then find the acceleration.

For example, if your graph of velocity vs time is a linear relation, then the acceleration will be the slope of the linear relation.

Answer:

3 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for acceleration in physics is:

a(t) = dv(t)/dt

This means that when you know:

Initial speed = 0 m/s²

Final speed = 15 m/s²

Time elapsed = 5 s

Acceleration = 3 m/s²
