Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= 5 \ m/s^2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the change in speed over time.


a=( v_f-v_i)/(t)

The object accelerates from 0 meters per second to 25 meters per second in 5 seconds.


v_f= 25 \ m/s\\v_i= 0 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.


a=( 25 \ m/s -0 m/s )/( 5 \ s)

Solve the numerator.


a=(25 \ m/s)/(5 \ s)

Divide


a= 5 \ m/s/s= 5 \ m/s^2

The object's acceleration is 5 meters per square second.
