Answer:


41.3 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of the velocity of the object.

It is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction.

The acceleration is given by:


a=(v_f-v_i)/(t)

where


v_f is the final velocity


v_i is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change

If the acceleration is positive, the direction is the same as the initial velocity; if the acceleration is negative, the direction is opposite to the initial velocity.

In this problem:


v_i=0 is the initial velocity


v_f=124 m/s is the final velocity

t = 3 s is the time

So, the acceleration is


a=(124-0)/(3)=41.3 m/s^2
