Answer:

0.4 m/s^2 or 5184 km/h^2

Explanation:

To find the acceleration, given the inicial and final speed of the car, we can use the Torricelli's formula:

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2*a*D

Where V is the final speed, Vo is the inicial speed, a is the acceleration and D is the distance travelled. So, with V = 72 km/h, Vo = 0 (starts from rest) and D = 0.5 km, we have:

72^2 = 0 ^2 + 2*a*0.5

a = 72^2 = 5184 km/h^2

For an acceleration in m/s^2, we should use the speed in meters per second (72 / 3.6 = 20 m/s) and the distance in meters (D = 500):

20^2 = 0^2 + 2*a*500

400 = 1000a

a = 0.4 m/s^2

When we shake a mango tree, the mangoes fall down. It is because when we shake the tree, the mango tend to be rest due to inertia where as the branches are in motion. That is why the mangoes tend to be at rest due to inertia where as the branches are in the motion.
