The car's acceleration, given the data from the question is 4 m/s²

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

The following data were obtained from the question:

<h3>How to determine the acceleration of the car</h3>

The acceleration of the car can be obtained as illustrated below:

s = ut + ½at²

50 = (0 × 5) + (½ × a × 5²)

50 = 0 + (½ × a × 25)

50 = 0 + 12.5a

50 = 12.5a

Divide both sides by 12.5

a = 50 /12.5

a = 4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the car is 4 m/s²
