The skier's **acceleration **is 4 meter per square seconds in south direction.
What is acceleration?
**Acceleration **is the rate at which speed and direction of velocity vary over time. A point or object going straight ahead is **accelerated **when it accelerates or decelerates.
Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting. Both effects contribute to the **acceleration **for all other motions.
**Acceleration **is a vector quantity since it has both a magnitude and a direction.
The skier's **acceleration **is = change in velocity ÷ time interval
= ( final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time interval
= (0 m/s - 12 m/s) ÷ 3 seconds
= - 4 meter per square seconds.
Hence, the skier's **acceleration **is 4 meter per square seconds in south direction.

The skier's acceleration is 4 meters per second squared in the south direction as they come to a stop from a velocity of 12 meters per second north. This deceleration is calculated by taking the change in velocity (from 12 m/s to 0 m/s) and dividing by the time taken (3 seconds). The negative acceleration reflects that the skier is slowing down.
