1. Understand the Concepts
* Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity over time.
* Formula: Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (vf) - Initial Velocity (vi)) / Time (t)
2. Identify the Given Information
* Initial velocity (vi) = 25 m/s
* Final velocity (vf) = 30 m/s
* Time (t) = 10.0 s
3. Apply the Formula
a = (30 m/s - 25 m/s) / 10.0 s
a = 5 m/s / 10.0 s
a = 0.5 m/s²
Answer: The magnitude of the acceleration is 0.5 m/s².
