Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time
a = (v - u) / t
Where v = final velocity in m/s
u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time in seconds.
a = acceleration in m/s²
A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.
Answer:
80m, assuming g=10m/s^2
Explanation:
40m/s will be reduced to 0m/s in 4 seconds. 4 seconds x 40m/s would be 160m up, but you will only get half of that because you decelerate linearly to 0m/s. This leaves you with 4 x 20 = 80m.
