    Hi babi_gurl

    You need to use the suvat equation

    You can rearrange this for a and then put in your values for u, t and s.

    Let me know if you get stuck!

    u=0m/s s=9m t=8s
    s=ut+1/2at^2
    so to make a the subject,
    a= (s-ut) divide by 1/2t^2
    a= (9-0x8)/0.5x8^2
    a=9/32
    so hence, a= 0.28ms^-2

    thanks soo much =D
    Yes that looks right to me :)
