Question

Isaac decides that he does not want to be as safe a driver anymore! He jumps on his car and hits the gas! The car accelerates from 0 m/s to 32 m/s in 7 seconds. what is the acceleration before he sees the flashing red and blue lights.​

Answer 1

The acceleration of the car before Isaac sees the flashing red and blue lights is approximately 4.57 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where:

• a is the acceleration
• vf is the final velocity (32 m/s)
• vi is the initial velocity (0 m/s)
• t is the time taken (7 seconds)

Substituting the given values into the formula:

a = (32 m/s - 0 m/s) / 7 s = 4.57 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car before Isaac sees the flashing red and blue lights is approximately 4.57 m/s².
