Answer:

the acceleration of the car is 10 mi/h^2.

Explanation:

We can use the following formula to calculate the acceleration of the car:

a = (v_f - v_i) / t

where:

a = acceleration

v_f = final velocity (in this case, 45 mi/h)

v_i = initial velocity (in this case, 25 mi/h)

t = time (in this case, 2 hours)

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

a = (45 mi/h - 25 mi/h) / 2 h

a = 20 mi/h / 2 h

a = 10 mi/h^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 10 mi/h^2.
