Mechanical Energy transforms into Thermal due to the moving parts rubbing on eachother creating heat and friction.
If "during this time" refers to the 5 second interval mentioned above, then the average acceleration is

Notice that we took the start time to be the start of the 5 second interval and set that to
. The starting velocity
is the velocity measured at the start of the interval, and
is the velocity measured at its end.
So the average velocity over these 5 seconds is
