Given:

The initial velocity of the car is


\begin{gathered} v_i=20\text{ km/hr} \\ =20*\frac{1000\text{ m}}{3600\text{ s}} \\ =5.556\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The final velocity of the car is


\begin{gathered} v_f=100\text{ km/hr} \\ =\text{ 100}*(5)/(18) \\ =\text{ 27.778 m/s} \end{gathered}

The time duration is t = 8 s

To find the acceleration of a car.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the car will be


\begin{gathered} a=(v_f-v_i)/(t) \\ =(27.778-5.556)/(8) \\ =2.775\text{ m/s}^2 \end{gathered}

Thus, the acceleration of the car is 2.775 m/s.
