Question

A car initially traveling at 15 m/s North accelerates to 25 m/s North in 4 seconds. The magnitude of the average acceleration is?

Answer 1

The average acceleration of the car as it accelerates from 15 m/s to 25 m/s will be 2.5 m/s².

What is Average acceleration?

Average acceleration is the average rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Mathematically -

a = Δv/Δt

Given that a car is traveling at 15 m/s in north direction and in 4 seconds it accelerates to 25 m/s in the north direction only. Therefore, we can write -

initial velocity [u] = 15 m/s

final velocity [v] = 25 m/s

time taken [Δt] = 4 s

The magnitude of the average acceleration can be calculated as follows-

a = Δv/Δt

Δv = v - u = 25 - 15

Δv = 10 m/s

Therefore -

a = 10/4

a = 2.5 m/s².

Therefore, the average acceleration of the car will be 2.5 m/s².
