Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 2: a = (6 - 0)/2 = 6/2 = 3 m/s²

Step 3: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 4: a = (6 - 0)/2 = 6/2 = 3 m/s²

Step 5: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 6: a = (11 - 2)/3 = 9/3 = 3 m/s²

Step 7: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 8: a = (16 - 4)/4 = 12/4 = 3 m/s²

Step 9: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 10: a = (21 - 6)/5 = 15/5 = 3 m/s²

Step 11: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 12: a = (26 - 8)/6 = 18/6 = 3 m/s²

Step 13: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 14: a = (31 - 10)/7 = 21/7 = 3 m/s²

Step 15: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 16: a = (36 - 12)/2 = 24/2 = 12 m/s²

Step 17: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 18: a = (41 - 14)/3 = 27/3 = 9 m/s²

Step 19: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 20: a = (22 - 16)/4 = 6/4 = 1.5 m/s²

Step 21: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 22: a = (27 - 18)/5 = 9/5 = 1.8 m/s²

Step 23: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 24: a = (12 - 0)/6 = 12/6 = 2 m/s²

Step 25: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 26: a = (17 - 2)/7 = 15/7 = 2.142857142857143 m/s²

Step 27: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 28: a = (22 - 4)/2 = 18/2 = 9 m/s²

Step 29: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 30: a = (27 - 6)/3 = 21/3 = 7 m/s²

Step 31: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 32: a = (32 - 8)/4 = 24/4 = 6 m/s²

Step 33: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 34: a = (37 - 10)/5 = 27/5 = 5.4 m/s²

Step 35: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 36: a = (18 - 12)/6 = 6/6 = 1 m/s²

Step 37: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 38: a = (23 - 14)/7 = 9/7 = 1.2857142857142858 m/s²

Step 39: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 40: a = (28 - 16)/2 = 12/2 = 6 m/s²

Step 41: a = (vf - vi)/t

Step 42: a = (33 - 18)/3 = 15/3 = 5 m/s²
