Question

A train slows from 60m/s to 20m/s in 50s

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -4/5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

a = (20 m/s - 60 m/s) / 50 s

a = -40 m/s / 50 s

a = -4/5 m/s^2

hope this helps! <3

Answer 2

Answer:

- 4/5 m/s^2

Explanation:

It is going from 60 to 20 m/s   so ACCELERATION is negative

   acceleration = change in velocity / time

                          = -40 m/s / 50 s =  - 4/5 m/s^2
