Question

A car accelerates from a standstill to 60 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the

acceleration?
Given:
Equation:
Answer:
Plug in:

Answer 1

`6 m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

`a=(v-u)/(t)`

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the change in velocity to occur

For the car in this problem:

u = 0

v = 60 m/s

t = 10 s

Substituting,

`a=(60-0)/(10)=6 m/s^2`
