A car traveling at 36 km/hr due north turns west in 5 seconds under constant acceleration and maintains the same speed. What is the acceleration of the car?

Asked by gurmehar

Answer (2)

If acceleration is constant we calculate it from the formula: a= t v ​ v=36 h km ​ t=5s We convert units: t=5s= 12 1 ​ h
a= 12 1 ​ 36 ​ =432 h 2 km ​ =0,033333333333333 s 2 m ​

The acceleration of the car turning from north to west while maintaining a speed of 36 km/h over 5 seconds is approximately 2.83 m/s² directed west. This is calculated by determining the change in velocity and dividing it by the time it took for the turn. This acceleration indicates how quickly the car is changing its direction during the turn.
