Understanding Acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. It's calculated using the following formula:

* Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)

Applying the Formula

1. Identify the given values:

* Initial Velocity (u) = 65 m/s

* Final Velocity (v) = 98 m/s

* Time (t) = 12 s

2. Substitute the values into the formula:

* a = (98 m/s - 65 m/s) / 12 s

3. Calculate the acceleration:

* a = 33 m/s / 12 s

* a = 2.75 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 2.75 m/s².
