    Your first answer has an error on the first line of the answer for #64. Maybe you figured it out from looking at the 2nd line.

    It should have been:

    64) acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time

    minus, not divided by.

    The rest looks good.

    a) constant velocity

    b) acceleration/deceleration (positive/negative gradient)

    c) positive velocity

    d) negative velocity

    e) zero velocity

    64) acceleration = (final velocity ÷ initial velocity) ÷ time

    acceleration=(0-8.0)÷1.6

    acceleration=(-8)÷1.6

    acceleration=-5m/s^2
