Answer:

2.5 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 90 km/hr into m/s:

90/3.6 = 25 m/s

vf = final velocity = 25 m/s

vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = 10 seconds

a = acceleration, unknown

Then, find a using the following equation:

(vf - vi)/t = a

(25 m/s)/10 s = 2.5 m/s^2

a = 2.5 m/s^2

Hope this helps!! :)
