Understanding Acceleration

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It's calculated as:

* Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (vf) - Initial Velocity (vi)) / Time (t)

Applying the Information

* Initial Velocity (vi): 1 m/s

* Final Velocity (vf): 3 m/s

* Time (t): You haven't provided the time period (s). Let's assume the time is 5 seconds for this example.

Calculation

* a = (3 m/s - 1 m/s) / 5 s

* a = 2 m/s / 5 s

* a = 0.4 m/s²

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s². Remember to replace "5 s" with the actual time period you're working with to get the correct acceleration.
