Expert Solution
Step 1

Ben's Acceleration at time t=5 seconds

from the table we can see that t=5sec is the average of t=10sec and t=0 sec

So from here it is clear that question is about average acceleration 

so we are 

 avg Accelaration=v2(t2)-v1(t1)t2-t1

Here

 t2=10 sec      t1=0 secv2(t2)=2.3 meter per second (m/s)v1(t1)=2.0(m/s) Avg. Accelaration=2.3m/s-2.0m/s10sec-0sec     =(0.3) m/s10secavg Acceleration=0.03m/s2
