While traveling along a highway, a driver slows from 24 m/sec to 15 m/sec in 12 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration?

24-15=9 m/s slower in 12 seconds. So 9/12 m/s² slower. Therefore the acceleration is -0,75 m/s²

The automobile's acceleration is calculated as -0.75 m/s², indicating that it slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. This negative acceleration demonstrates deceleration. The process involves determining the change in velocity and dividing it by the time taken.
