Acceleration is #6.0# #m#/#s^2#.

Explanation:

Initial velocity is #20# meters per second

Final velocity is #50# meters per second

Change in velocity is #50-20=30# meters per second

which has taken place in #5.0# seconds

As acceleration is change in velocity per second

acceleration is #30/5=6.0# #m/s^2#
