An object travels 6m in the first second of travel, 6m again durning the second second of travel, and 6m again druning the third second. It acceleration in meters per second per second(M/S2) is

How did you arrive at 8 m/s²?

The object does not seem to have changed velocity at all (although we do not know what the variatioins are during the 1 second intervals).

To determine the acceleration of the object, we first need to understand the concept of acceleration. Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. Mathematically, acceleration (a) can be calculated using the formula:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where:
- a represents acceleration
- vf represents final velocity
- vi represents initial velocity
- t represents time

In this case, we are given that the object travels 6 meters in each of the first three seconds of travel, indicating that its velocity change is constant. Therefore, we can assume the initial velocity (vi) is 0 m/s and the final velocity (vf) is 6 m/s at the end of each second.

Let's calculate the acceleration using the given information:

For the first second:
a1 = (vf1 - vi1) / t
= (6 - 0) / 1
= 6 m/s²

For the second second:
a2 = (vf2 - vi2) / t
= (6 - 0) / 1
= 6 m/s²

For the third second:
a3 = (vf3 - vi3) / t
= (6 - 0) / 1
= 6 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 6 m/s², which means it is increasing its velocity by 6 meters per second every second.
