Answer:

0.33m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 19.9m/s

Final velocity  = 4.4m/s

Time  = 47.6s

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

     Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{v - u }{t}[/tex]

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

 t is the time taken

    Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{4.4 - 19.9}{47.6}[/tex]  

    Acceleration = -0.33m/s²

This is a deceleration
