If a car changes its velocity from 32 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration?

use the equation for the acceleration
A = final velocity - initial velocity divided by time final - time initial
A= 54 - 32 / 8 - 0
A= 22 / 8
A= 2.75 m/s^2
Hope this helps!

Answer:

a = 2.75 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation for the acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/ time

= 54 - 32 / 8

= 22 / 8

= 2.75 m/s^2
