Question

16. If a car starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 50 m/s in 8 seconds, what was the

acceleration?

Answer 1

The answer is (60 mph - 0 mph) / 8s = (26.8224 m/s - 0 m/s) / 8s = 3.3528 m/s 2 (meters per second squared) average acceleration. That would be 27,000 miles per hour squared.
