Answer:
0.01167 m/s^2
Explanation:
Acceleration is chage in velocity with respect to time. Another way to think of acceleration is in the units: m/s^2, or as I like to say, (m/s) /s.
The strategy to solve this kind of problem is to find the change in velocity (which will be in units of m/s)... and then divide that by the time passed.
In this case:
Change in Velocity = (13 m/s) - (6 m/s) = 6 m/s
Time passed = 10 min
Converting units of time: 10 min * (60 s / 1 m) = 600 sec
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time Passed
Acceleration = (6 m/s) / (600 s)
Acceleration = 0.01167 m/s^2
