Answer:
0.15 m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity-time function. We can find acceleration by finding the slope. The slope of graph can be found by:
[tex] \displaystyle{a = \dfrac{ \Delta v}{ \Delta t} \: \to \: \dfrac{v_f - v_i}{t_f- t_i}}[/tex]
Substitute in:
[tex] \displaystyle{a = \dfrac{5 - 2}{40 - 20}} \\ \\ \displaystyle{a = \dfrac{3}{20}} \\ \\ \displaystyle{a = 0.15 \: \text{m/s}^{2} }[/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration is 0.15 m/s²
