Question

The velocity of a car increases by 40 m/s in 80 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car

Answer 1

Given that the velocity of a car increases by 40 m/s in 80 seconds, the acceleration of the car will be given by:
a=(final velocity-initial velocity)/(time)
thus;
final velocity=40 m/s
initial velocity=0
time=80 seconds
hence;
a=(40-0)/80
=0.5m/s^2
