Answer:

a=0.84m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

a=v-u/t

where a=acelleration of the car,u=initial velocity,v=final velocity, t=time taken

a=?,u=15km/h,v=30km/h,t=5s

velocity is in m/s and we were given in km/h so we convert

or we say

v-u=30-15=15km/h

(v-u)=15×1000/3600=4.2m/s

a=v-u/t

a=4.2/5

a=0.84m/s²
