Answer:

Average acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average acceleration can be found by dividing the change in speed by the change in time.

We know that the initial velocity=10m/s, the final velocity=30m/s and time elapsed is t=8s.

a= (Final velocity-Initial Velocty)/t

a=(30-10)/8=20/8=2.5 m/s^2
