  • Initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=7m/s
  • Time=t=0.1s


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


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(7-0)/(0.1)


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(7)/(0.1)


\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=70m/s^2

Answer:

Below!

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average acceleration you can use this formula....

acceleration = finalvelocity - initial velocity / time

Because the object begins at rest we know that our initial velocity is 0 m/s

Our final velocity is 7 m/s, and our time is 0.1 seconds....

Plugging in our values :

acceleration = 7m/s - 0.1 m/s / 0.1 s

= 7 m/s / 0.1s

= 70 m/s^2

This is already at the proper amount of sig figs so we're good to go!

Therefore the average acceleration of this object is 70 m/s^2

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
