Answer : Acceleration of the car is
17.89\ m/s^2

Explanation :

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0 miles

Final velocity of the car, v = 80 miles/hour = 35.77 m/s

Time taken, t = 2 s

So, from the above data we are focusing on the velocity of the car w.r.t to time i.e. acceleration of the car.


a=(v-u)/(t)


a=(35.77\ m/s-0)/(2\ s)


a=17.89\ m/s^2

So, the car of the car is
17.89\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.
