Answer:

Acceleration (a)
=5.29\ m\./s^2

Explanation:

Given that

final velocity (v)
=45\ m/s

Initial velocity (u)
=0\ m/s

Time (t)
=8.5\ seconds

Then


v=u+at\ ...................................... (1)

Where
a is acceleration.

put the value in equation
(1)


45=0+a*8.5\\a*8.5=45

dividing
8.5 both sides


(a*8.5)/(8.5)=(45)/(8.5)\\\\a=(45)/(8.5)\\\\a=(450)/(85)\\\\a=5.29\ m/s^2
