Answer:

-2.83 m/s²

Explanation:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 6 seconds

❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.

→ a = (v - u)/t

  • v denotes final velocity
  • a denotes acceleration
  • u denotes initial velocity
  • t denotes time

→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²

→ a = -17/6 m/s²

→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²

(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)
