Answer:

The automobile's acceleration in that time interval is -2 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity.

The average acceleration in a given lapse of time is calculated as:

A = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time.

In this case, we have:

initial velocity = 31 m/s

final velocity = 15 m/s

time = 8 seconds.

Then the average acceleration is:

A = (15m/s - 31m/s)/8s = -2 m/s^2

Which structures main function is to produce food (sugar) in a plant
leva [86]
Technically speaking, there are many "levels" of a plant for which this may hold true. I think the one you are referring to is the chloroplast. It takes in the light energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide, and performs photosynthesis on them to produce sugar and oxygen. A leaf would also fit the description as this is a very general question.
