The definition of acceleration will tell you what to do.

Velocity change divided by time interval

hi !! :)

transport topic ? i just did that and it wasn't my strongest but i'll give it a shot :) hope i help but sorry if its way out lol !! :)

a = v-u/t
a=x
v (final speed) = 50 feet/second
u (initial speed) = 200 feet/second
t = 5 seconds

a=50-200
=-150/5
=-30

or you could use the equation:

change in speed/time taken for change

sorry but maybe one of these ring a bell i'm not 100% sure ? :S and also we use metres per second so when you are doing it if that's what you usually use then you should probably convert it ?
eg. 200 feet = 60.96 metres
then acceleration would be in metres per second squared m/s^2 or ms^-2
