the car starts from rest,
initial velocity, u= 0m/sec
it accelerates uniformly over a time period, t= 5.21sec
it covers a distance, s= 110m
let the acceleration be 'a'm/sec^2
we know the kinematical equation,
s= ut+(1/2)at^2
so using this equation,
110= 0*5.21 + 1/2*a*5.21*5.21
or, 110= 13.57205a
or, a= 8.1
The acceleration of the car is 8.1m/sec^2
