Question

A toy car accelerates at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 4 m/s in a time of 0.55 s. What was the magnitude of the acceleration, in units of m/s2?

Answer 1

• initial velocity=u=0m/s
• Final velocity=v=4m/s
• Time=t=0.5s

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(v-u)/(t)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(4-0)/(0.5)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(4)/(0.5)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=8m/s^2`
