Question

11. A car starts from rest and moves with a constant acceleration. During the
5 second of its motion, it covers a distance of 36 meters. What is the
acceleration of the car?
a. 12.5 m/s
b. 8 m/s
e 15 m/s
d. 16 m/s
14 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

8m/s

Explanation:

Applying v = u + a*t to the first 4.5 s

36 km/s = 0 + a*4.5 s

a = (36 km/s) / 4.5 s = 8 km/s^2 (or m/s).
