Question

An object is moving with an initial velocity of 5.8 m/s and a final velocity 13.8 m/s. The time taken for acceleration is 2.2 seconds.  Calculate the acceleration in m/s2 to 2 sf.

In your answer, you do not enter the unit vector, but you do need to enter negative signs, if appropriate.

e.g. if your answer is a = -5.4 m/s,2 you would enter -5.4
