Answer:
-10miles/hr²
Explanation:
a = ∆v/∆t
Where:
a = acceleration (miles/hr²)
∆V = change in velocity (miles/hr)
t = time (hour)
The change in time is from 2:00 - 4:00 ∆t = 2 hours.
The distance covered is as follows: 20miles/hour - 40 miles/hr
∆v = -20miles/hr
Using a = ∆v/∆t
a = -20/2
a = -10miles/hr²
