Answer:
<em>a = 7.6\ mph/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>
It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.
The equation that describes the change of velocities is:
Where:
a = acceleration
vo = initial speed
vf = final speed
t = time
Solving the equation [for a:
The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:
a = 7.6\ mph/s
