Calculation of Acceleration

To calculate the acceleration, we will use the following formula:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

Given Values
- Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s
- Time (t) = 10 seconds

Substituting the given values in the formula, we get:

acceleration = (20 m/s - 10 m/s) / 10 seconds

acceleration = 10 m/s / 10 seconds

Final Answer

acceleration = 1 m/s²

Hence, the value of acceleration is 1 m/s².

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It is a vector quantity and is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²). The formula to calculate acceleration is given by:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

In this question, we are given the initial velocity, final velocity, and time. By substituting these values in the formula, we can calculate the acceleration.

Here, the initial velocity is 10 m/s and the final velocity is 20 m/s. The time taken to change the velocity from 10 m/s to 20 m/s is 10 seconds. By substituting these values in the formula, we get the acceleration as 1 m/s².

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².
