Answer:

acceleration = v-u/ t

= 15-10/5

= 5/5

= 1 m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helped you.

Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1 \ m/s^2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time. Therefore, the formula for calculating acceleration is:


a= (v_f-v_i)/(t)

Since the body's velocity increased from 10 meters per second to 15 meters per second 15 m/s is the final velocity and 10 m/s is the initial velocity. The time is 5 seconds.


  • v_f= 15 m/s

  • v_i= 10 m/s
  • t= 5 s


a= ( 15 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s)/(5 \ s)

Solve the numerator.

  • 15 m/s - 10 m/s = 5 m/s


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

Divide.


a= 1 \ m/s/s


a= 1 m/s^2

The acceleration is 1 meter per second squared.
