Question

What is the acceleration of a car initially traveling at -5m/s and reaching -22m/s in 3s.

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=-5.67\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = -5 m/s

Final velocity, v = -22 m/s

Time, t = 3s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. The formula of it is given by :

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{(-22)-(-5)}{3}\\\\a=-5.67\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-5.67\ m/s^2$.
