Question

A car initially moving at 4 m/s accelerates to a new velocity of 10 m/s in a time of 3

seconds. What was the acceleration of the car?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

Initial velocity (u) = 4m/s

Final velocity (v) = 10m/s.

Time(t) = 3s

Acceleration (a) = ?

We know;

`a = (v - u)/(t)`

Keep all values.

`a = (10 - 4)/(3)`

Simplify it.

`a = (6)/(3)`

Therefore, acceleration is 2m/s^2.

Hope it helps....
