Answer:
1.5 m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1- Change km/hr into m/s
18km/hr to m/s = (18x1000)÷ 3600 = 5m/s
72km/hr to m/s = (72x1000)÷ 3600 = 20m/s
Step 2- Use acceleration formula
acceleration= (v-u)÷t
= (20-5)÷ 10
= 1.5 m/s²

Given :-
Time taken = 10 sec
Initial velocity = 18 km/h
To Find :-
The acceleration of the car.
Solution :-
We know that,
- u = Initial velocity
- t = Time
- v = Final velocity
- a = Acceleration
Using the formula,
Given that,
Time taken (t) = 10 sec
Initial velocity (u) = 18 km/h = 5 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Substituting their values,
20 = 5 + (a) × 10
a = (v - u)/t
a = (20 - 5)/10
a = 15/10
a = 1.5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.5 m/s².
