The Lamborghini Diablo sports car can accelerate from 0.0 km/hr to 99.2 km/hr in 4.0 seconds. What is the acceleration of this car? Give your answer in units of kilometers per hour/sec.
To find the acceleration of the car we have to
1. First determine the suitable formula for this word problem. Which is
a. A=vf-vi/t
Given are:
Vf=99.2 km/h
Vi= 0.0 km/h
T= 4.0sec
Solution:
A= 99.2 km/h – 0.0km/h / 4.0 sec
A = 99.2 km/h / 4 sec
**
A = 2.8 km/h/sec
**
24.8 km per second ;
The acceleration of the Lamborghini Diablo, which changes its speed from 0.0 km/h to 99.2 km/h in 4.0 seconds, is calculated to be 24.8 km/h/s. This is determined using the formula for acceleration, which is the change in velocity divided by the time taken. Thus, we find that the acceleration is 24.8 km/h/s .
