**Question 15**: What is an object's acceleration that takes 550.0 meters to go from 6.0 m/s to 85.0 m/s?

In this question, we need to calculate the acceleration of an object given its displacement and change in velocity. 

- **Initial velocity (u)** = 6.0 m/s
- **Final velocity (v)** = 85.0 m/s
- **Displacement (s)** = 550.0 meters

We can use the kinematic equation:

\[ v^2 = u^2 + 2as \]

Where:
- \( v \) is the final velocity,
- \( u \) is the initial velocity,
- \( a \) is the acceleration,
- \( s \) is the displacement.

Rearranging the formula to solve for \( a \) (acceleration):

\[ a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \]

By substituting the given values, the acceleration can be calculated.
