Answer:

The acceleration of the object is -30\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object v_i = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object v_f = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration a is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where v_f represents final velocity, v_i represents initial velocity and t is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

a=\frac{50-200}{5}

a=\frac{-150}{5}

a=-30\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is -30\ m/s^2 (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.
