A car's velocity increases from rest to [tex]14 \, \text{m/s, E}[/tex] in [tex]3.5 \, \text{seconds}[/tex]. What is its acceleration?

Asked by 386343386jc

Answer (3)

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).
Acceleration = (14 m/s - 0 m/s) / (3.5 s) = 4 m/s²

Acceleration = (Change in velocity) / (Time taken) So, Acceleration = 3.5 14 − 0 ​
Acceleration = 3.5 14 ​
Acceleration = 4 m/s²
So, acceleration of the car is 4 m/s²

The car's acceleration is calculated using the change in velocity divided by the time taken for that change. The acceleration is 4 m/s 2 towards the east. This means that the car speeds up at this rate during the specified time period.
