Answer:

6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 4m/s

Time  = 3s

Final velocity  = 22m/s

Unknown:

Average acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time taken.

    Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{Time}[/tex]  

Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{22 - 4}{3}[/tex]    = 6m/s²
