Question

. A car accelerates at a constant rate in a straight line.

The velocity of the car increases from 4.9 m/s to 6.4 m/s in 3.00 minutes.
Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

Answer 1

The acceleration of the car is 0.0273.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this by using the acceleration formula which is:

a = ( vf - vi ) / Δt

a is acceleration.

vi is the initial velocity.

vf is the final velocity.

When we substitute into the equation we get. . .

a = ( 6.4 - 4.9 ) / 3

and when we solve this equation we get 0.02734
