Answer:

9.88 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The car’s acceleration can be calculated using the formula for uniformly accelerated motion:

d=ut+21​at2

where:

d is the distance travelled,

u is the initial velocity,

t is the time, and

a is the acceleration.

Given that the car starts from rest (so u = 0), the distance d = 100.0 m, and the time t = 4.5 s, we can rearrange the formula to solve for a:

a=t22d​

Substituting the given values:

a=2×100.0m/4.5^2​
