Given:

Initial velocity = 5 m/s

Final velocity = 2 m/s

Time = 30 seconds

Determine teh acceleration.

Formula for acceleration:

a = change in v/t

Solution:

Substitute the values of v and t to the formula for acceleration.

a =  (2 m/s - 5 m/s)/30 seconds

a = -3 m/s / 30 seconds

a = -0.1 m/s^2

Final answer:

a = -0.1 m/s^2
