Answer:

Acceleration,
a=2\ m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of an object is 30 m/s

It accelerates to a velocity of 55 m/s over a time of 12.5 s

It is required to find the acceleration experienced by it. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of an object. It is given by :


a=(v-u)/(t)\\\\a=(55-30)/(12.5)\\\\a=2\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the object is
2\ m/s^2.
