You want to take your change in velocity(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)(Vi - Vf) (8.3 m/s - 5.0 m/s = 3.3m/s).
The, you divide it by your average acceleration (0.50 m/s^2) (3.3m/s ÷ 0.50 m/s^2 = 6.6 m/s)
So the Final Formula is t =(Vf - Vi) ÷ a
A car traveling in a straight line has a speed of +5.0 m/s.
After accelerating at 0.50 m/s2, the car's speed is +8.3 m/s.
In what time interval did the acceleration occur?
(6.6 seconds)
Acceleration has two parts ... its size and its direction.To find the size (magnitude):-- pick a time interval-- measure the speed at the beginning of the interval-- measure the speed at the end of the interval-- subtract the speed at the beginning from the speed at the end-- divide that difference by the length of the time interval-- the result is the magnitude of acceleration during that time interval
Acceleration = (speed at the end of some time interval minus speed at the beginning of the interval)/(length of the time interval)
Acceleration. Deceleration is a decrease of speed during a given interval of time.
"acceleration"
You have a contradiction in your question. Instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at a certain moment in time. Average acceleration is the average over a time interval.

Using the definition of acceleration as change of speed / time, you basically need to know: * A time interval during which the object accelerates. * The velocity at the beginning of this time interval. * The velocity at the end of this time interval.
Reteradation will be half of acceleration
Acceleration = (speed at the end of some time interval minus speed at the beginning of the interval)/(length of the time interval)
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time interval)
Acceleration. Deceleration is a decrease of speed during a given interval of time.

positive acceleration
No. Acceleration is (change of velocity) divided by (time interval in which it changed). If velocity doesn't change, then there is no acceleration.
The shift of velocity per unit of given time is called acceleration. The types of acceleration are negative acceleration and positive acceleration.
