Given:

Final velocity: 25 m/s

Initial Veloicity: 0 m/s

Acceleration: 5 m/s^2

Determine the time in seconds.

Formula for acceleration:

a = change in v /t

t =change in v/a

Solution:

Substitute the given values of change in v and a in order to find t.

t = 25 m/s - 0 m/s / 5 m/s^2

t = 25 m/s / 5 m/s^2

t = 5 seconds

Final answer: 

 t = 5 seconds
