An object's acceleration if it is moving and comes to a stop in 5 s will be 8 m/s².
Acceleration is defined as the rate change of velocity with time.
acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)
An object is moving with initial velocity u = 40 m/s and it comes to stop, then its final velocity v= 0 m/s.
Time taken for the change in speed t=5s.
The acceleration is given by
a = (40 -0)/ 5
a = 8 m/s²
Thus, the object's acceleration is 8 m/s².
