Answer:

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Initial velocity u = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity v = 0
  • Time taken t = 5 seconds

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

Using the formula to determine the acceleration

a = (v - u) / t

substituting u = 10 m/s, v = 0 and t = 5

a = (0 - 10) / 5

a = -10 / 5

a = -2 m/s²

Thus,

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.
