Answer:
0.13m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:


Formula: a=(V_2-V_1)/(t)

Where;

a = acceleration

V2 = final velocity

V1 = initial velocity

t = time

If John runs 1.0 m/s first, we assume this is V1. He accelerates to 1.6 m/s; this is V2.


a=(1.6m/s-1.0m/s)/(4.5s)


a=(0.6m/s)/(4.5s)


a=0.13m/s^2
