Answer:

3 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Velocity, u = 18

Final velocity, v = 36

Time, t = 6 seconds

Acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with time. It obtained using the relation :

Acceleration = (v - u) / t

Acceleration = (36 - 18) / 6

Acceleration = 18 / 6

Acceleration = 3m/s²

Hence, acceleration of the skier is 3m/s²
