Recall this kinematic equation:
a =
This equation gives the acceleration of the object assuming it IS constant (the velocity changes at a uniform rate).
a is the acceleration.
Vi is the initial velocity.
Vf is the final velocity.
Δt is the amount of elapsed time.
Given values:
Vi = 0 m/s (the car starts at rest).
Vf = 25 m/s.
Δt = 10 s
Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for a:
a =
