The initial velocity = vi = 6m/s
The final velocity = vf = 16 m/s
The total time = t = 20 seconds
The rate of change in velocity is called acceleration (a) that can be written as:
[tex]a\text{ = }\frac{Change\text{ in velocity}}{time}[/tex]
or
[tex]a\text{ = }\frac{vf-vi}{t}[/tex]Put the values in the equation to get the value of 'a'.
[tex]a\text{ = }\frac{16\text{ - 6}}{20}[/tex][tex]a\text{ = }\frac{10}{20}[/tex]or
[tex]a\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}[/tex]hence, the value of a is 1/2.
