Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

v = vo + at

200 = 0 + a*5

200 = 5a

a = 200/5 = 40 m/s²

initial velocity (vo) is 0 because it says it start from station

Answer:

b. 40m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is calculated by dividing velocity over time. Therefore 200m/s by 5s equals 40m/s2
