A car is traveling in a race.The car went from initial velocity of 35m/s to the final velocity of 65m/s in 5 seconds what was the acceleration

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time. The change in velocity is -30m/s and time is 5s. If you divide -30m/s by 5s, you get -6m/s².

Answer:

Acceleration,
a=6\ m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 35 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 65 m/s

Time taken, t = 5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. It is given by :


a=(v-u)/(t)


a=(65-35)/(5)


a=6\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is
6\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
