Question

A race car is moving to the right with a constant velocity of 73 /s on an oval track.What is the average acceleration of the race car moving to the right with a constant velocity of 73 m/s on an oval track?

A. 0 m/s²
B. 73 m/s²
C. 146 m/s²
D. 36.5 m/s²

Answer 1

The average acceleration of a race car moving with a constant velocity is always zero because there is no change in velocity over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average acceleration of a race car moving with a constant velocity is always zero. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time. If the velocity of the race car is constant at 73 m/s, then there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration. Thus, the correct answer is A. 0 m/s².
