In 1991 four English teenagers built an eletric car that could attain a speed of 30.0m/s. Suppose it takes 8.0s for this car to
2 answers:
Answer:
Acceleration of the car,
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of the car, u = 18 m/s
Final speed of the car, v = 30 m/s
Time taken, t = 8 s
We need to find the acceleration of the car. Let it is given by a. It can be calculated using the first equation of motion.
Where
a is the acceleration of the car.
So, the magnitude of the car's acceleration is . Hence, this is the required solution.
