Answer:

Acceleration,
a=4\ m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

Final velocity, v = 60 m/s

Time, t = 10 s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. It is equal to the change in velocity divided by time.


a=(v-u)/(t)\\\\a=(60-20)/(10)\\\\a=(40)/(10)\\\\a=4\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is
4\ m/s^2.
