Question

What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 24.0 km/h to 53.0 km/h in 5.5 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:-

Given:

Initial Velocity (u) = 24 km/h => 24*5/18 = 6.66 m/s

Final Velocity (v) = 53 km/h => 53*5/18 = 14.72 m/s.

Time taken (t) = 5.5 s.

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

→ a = (14.72 - 6.66)/5.5

→ a = 8.06/5.5

→ a = 1.465 m/s²
