Question

A car is traveling in a race. The car went from the initial velocity of 35 m/s to the final velocity of 65 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration? 0-13 m/s2 0-6 m/s2 0.6 m/s2 O 13 m/s2​

Answer 1

Answer:

6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 35m/s

Final velocity  = 65m/s

Time taken  = 5s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time taken;

   Acceleration  = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}$  

So;

 Acceleration   = $\frac{65 - 35}{5}$    = 6m/s²
