There's  not enough given information t o answer the question. It depends on how long the car has been accelerating.

it could be 28 m/s 1 second ago.

it could be 16 m/s 4 seconds ago.

it could be 10 m/s 5.5 seconds ago.

etc.

i'll take a wild guess and speculate that the question actually tells how long the car has been accelerating, but you didn't copy that part.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

V = 32 m/s

a = 4.0 m/s²

__________

V₀ - ?

V = V₀ + a*t

V₀ = V - a*t = 32 - 4*t

Time is not set according to the condition of the problem!
