Average acceleration is defined as- (change in velocity/time elapsed)
Here,change in velocity =
√
10
2
+
10
2
or
10
√
2
m
s
So,average acceleration is
10
√
2
10
m
s
2
i.e
√
2
m
s
2
As,both the velocity vectors are equal in magnitude,their resultant will be at angle of 45 degrees w.r.t each other. And that will be the direction of the average acceleration as well,i.e along north west
Note: **Change in acceleration means,final velocity vector(
v
) - initial velocity vector
(
v
'
)
=
v
+
(
−
v
'
)
As
v
'
vector is located towards east,so
−
v
'
will be located towards west,so a resultant of two vectors of equal magnitude one directed along north and one along west will be along north west**

Answer:
acceleration (a)
initial velocity (u) =10m/s
final velocity (v) = 20m/s
a= v-u/1=20-10/5=10/5=2m/s*2
a=2m/s*2
