Using a Doppler ultrasound, the velocity of blood flow in a vein or an artery can be measured. In a particular patient, the flow in a particular artery is found to be 30 cm/s at one point, and 20 cm/s at a point farther from the heart. If the two points in the artery are 50 cm apart, what is the acceleration of the blood between the two points?

Thanks!
