Answer:

The acceleration of the car, a = 60 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s

The final velocity of the car, v = 30 m/s

The displacement of the car, s = 0.25 km

Using the III equations of motion

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²) / 2s

= 30 / 2 x 0.25

= 60 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the car, a = 60 m/s²
