Answer: acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2

Explanation: From the question, we are given the following parameters

Time t = 20s

Initial velocity U = 0

Final velocity V = 10 m/s

Using first equation of motion,

V = U + at

Where a = acceleration

Substitute all the parameters into the formula to get acceleration a

10 = 0 + 20a

10 = 20a

Make a the subject of formula

a = 10/20 = 0.5 m/s^2

The acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2
