islas change in velocity is 30 m/s, and hazel has the same change in velocity. which best describes explains why they would have different accelerations

Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change) .

They may have had the same change in velocity, but if the changes
happened in different lengths of time, then their accelerations were
not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as change in velocity with respect to change in time.

Mathematically, Acceleration = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}[/tex]

where
\Delta v = change in velocity


\Delta t = change in time

When Islas and Hazel both has change in velocity as 30 m/s but still their acceleration is different then it means that change in time for both of them is different.

Thus, they have different acceleration.
