Answer:

-15m/s/s

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in speed/ change in time

The change in speed is calculated by subtracting the initial speed from the final speed, so the change in speed is: 50 - 80 = -30m/s. The change in time is 2 - 0 = 2.

So the car acceleration is -30/2 = -15m/s/s

It is negative because it is decelerating.

Hope this helped!

C. sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides

These three chemical compounds play a role in the chemistry of acid rain or acid precipitation. These compounds are then in the process as they evaporate are converted into acids, mainly, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. These toxic gases that composes acid precipitation is actually caused by industries, factories or plants that utilizes such chemicals and then uses a humongous amount which then is released in during the process of certain products or manufactured objects.
