Answer: 2 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

V1-Vf/ T

2m/s - 8m/s / 3s

6m/s / 3s =

2 m/s^2

  • initial velocity=u=2m/s
  • Final velocity=v=8m/s
  • Time=t=3s


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(v-u)/(t)


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(8-2)/(3)


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(6)/(3)


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=2m/s^2
