Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= 1.5 \ m/s^2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so it is calculated using the following formula.


a= (v_f-v_i)/(t)

The object is initially moving at 10.5 meters per second. After 2 seconds, it is moving at 13.5 meters per second.


  • v_i= 10.5 m/s

  • v_f=13.5 m/s
  • t= 2 s

Substitute the values into the formula.


a= (13.5 \ m/s - 10.5 \ m/s)/(2 \ s)

Solve the numerator.


a= (3 \ m/s)/(2 \ s)

Divide.


a=1.5 \ m/s/s \\a= 1.5 \ m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is 1.5 meters per second squared.
