Multiple choice — select the best answer

A0.2 m/$$s^{2}$$
B6 m/h
C10 m/$$s^{2}$$
D6 m/$$s^{2}$$

✓ Correct answer: D. 6 m/$$s^{2}$$ The correct answer is 6 m/$$s^{2}$$. To find the acceleration, use the formula: $$\text{acceleration} = \frac{\text{change in velocity}}{\text{time taken}}$$. The change in velocity is calculated as: 30 m/s - 0 m/s = 30 m/s. The time taken is given as 5 seconds. Thus, $$\text{acceleration} = \frac{30\text{ m/s}}{5\text{ s}} = 6\text{ m/s}^2$$.
