Answer:

The answer is 30 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula


a = (v)/(t) \\

where

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question

v = 450 m/s

t = 15 s

We have


a = (450)/(15) \\

We have the final answer as

30 m/s²

Hope this helps you
