Question

A race car's velocity increases from +28 m/s to +36 m/s over a 2.0-s time interval. What is the car's

Answer 1

Answer:

$4 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration, $a=\frac {v-u}{t}$

Where v and u are the final and initial velocities of the race car respectively, t is the time taken for the race car to attain velocity of 36 m/s.

Substituting 36 m/s for v, 28 m/s for u and 2 s for t then

$a=\frac {36 m/s-28 m/s}{2}=4 m/s^{2}$
