Answer:

Option A. 3 m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data: Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 60 m/s

Time taken = 20 seconds

Required : acceleration = ?

Solution: We know that

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time taken

Acceleration = 60 m/s - 0m/s ÷ 20 s

Acceleration = 60 m/s ÷ 20 s

Acceleration = 3 m/s2

So the acceleration produce in the body is 3 meter / second square.
