Answer:

Given:

Initial velocity, u = 0 (since the car is stopped)

Final velocity, v = 80 m/s

Time taken, t = 5 s

Required:

Acceleration, a

Equation:

We can use the following equation to calculate the acceleration:

a = (v - u) / t

where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, and t is the time taken.

Solution:

Substituting the given values, we get:

a = (80 - 0) / 5

a = 16 m/s²

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 16 m/s².

(^2 is just another version of ²)

Hope this helped! Sorry if it didn't. If you need more help, ask me! :]
