Answer:
1) 0 m/s²
2) 6.26 m/s
Explanation:
Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Therefore, an object with constant velocity has no acceleration. For the object going down the hill, its initial gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
PE = KE
mgh = ½ mv²
gh = ½ v²
v² = 2gh
v² = 2 (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)
v = 6.26 m/s
