<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time. We can find acceleration a, by the following formula
a=v-u/t
where, v is the final velocity (in this question v=8.0 m/s) u is the initial velocity (since the hamster starts from rest, u=0) t is the time taken (i,e 3.0 second) now by applying the formula we have,
a = 8.0 - 0 / 3 = 8 / 3 = 2.65 m/s</span>²<span>
The acceleration is 2.65 meters per second squared</span>
