Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information if we assume that the runner didn't come back to her original position.

Her initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final Velocity = 9.6 m/s

Time Taken = 2 seconds

She started from rest therefore her initial time would be 0 seconds.

We know that,

Average acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)

=(v-u)/t1-t0

=(9.6 - 0)/(2-0) m/s^2

=4.8 m/s^2
