Homework Statement



A car initially moving at 12 m/s [E 30o N] accelerates until it reaches a final velocity of 10 m/s [E]. What was the average acceleration of the car?

I couldn't attempt anything. There isn't any magnitude given save for velocity, so I have no clue how to solve this, and whether it's even possible.

you can't tell the avarage acceleration if you don't know in how much time the car decelerate from 12 to 10 m/s.
