Question

The velocity of a car traveling in a straight line increases from 0 meters/second to 30 meters/second in 8 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car? A. 3.75 meters/second B. 3.75 meters/second2 C. 0.27 meters/second2 D. 0.27 meters/second

Answer 1

B. 3.75 meters/second2

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of a car traveling in a straight line increases from 0 meters/second to 30 meters/second in 8 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car;

acceleration = (change in velocity)/(change in time)

acceleration = ( 30 - 0)/(8)

acceleration = 3.75 meters/second2
