Answer:


1 (m)/(s^(2) )

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,I think I can help you with this

the acceleration is the change in the speed, in a given time. it can be calculated


acceleration(a) =(speed_(f) -speed_(i) )/(time)\\\\

Step 1

let


\\speed_(f)=100\ (m)/(s) \\speed_(i)=90\ (m)/(s) \\time=10\ seconds\\

put the values into the equation


acceleration(a) =(100\ (m)/(s) -90\ (m)/(s) )/(10\ sec)\\\\acceleration(a)=(10 (m)/(s) )/(10\ seconds)\\acceleration(a)=1 (m)/(s^(2) )

Have a nice day
