$4 \ "m/s"^2$

Explanation:

Well, the object changed its velocity by $32 \ "m/s"-8 \ "m/s"$ over $6$ seconds.

Acceleration is given by the equation:

$a=(s_f-s_i)/t$

where:

$s_f,s_i$ are the final and initial speeds, respectively

$t$ is the time taken

So, we get:

$a=(32 \ "m/s"-8 \ "m/s")/(6 \ "s")$

$=(24 \ "m/s")/(6 \ "s")$

$=4 \ "m/s"^2$

The acceleration is $=4ms^-2$

Explanation:

The initial velocity is $u=8ms^-1$

The final velocity is $v=32ms^-1$

The time is $t=6s$

Apply the equation of motion

$v=u+at$

The acceleration is

$a=(v-u)/t=(32-8)/6=24/6=4ms^-2$

Rate of acceleration $a = 6$ m/ $s^2$

Explanation:

$v = u + a t$

$u = 8$ m/s, $v = 32$ m/s, $t = 6$ sec

$a = (v - u) / t = (32 - 8) / 6 = 4$ m / $s^2$
