Ignoring air resistance and assuming a constant acceleration, use Newton's equation of motion:

s = ut + ½at²

s = distance = 18.9 m

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration

t = time = 10.0 s

→ 18.9 m = 0 m/s × 10.0 s + ½a(10.0 s)²

→ 18.9 m = ½a(100 s²)

→ a = 18.9 m × 2 / 100 s²

= 0.378 m/s²
