Answer:
-4.5 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average acceleration of the car is given by:


a=(v-u)/(t)

where

u = 45 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 10 s is the time taken

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find


a=(0 -45 m/s)/(10 s)=-4.5 m/s^2
