Question

A car accelerates from 4 m/s to 16 m/s in 4 seconds. The car's acceleration is:____ meters/second².

Answer 1

In order to calculate the acceleration, we can use the formula below:

`a=(v_f-v_i)/(t)`

If the final velocity is 16 m/s, the initial velocity is 4 m/s and the time is 4 seconds, we have:

Therefore the acceleration is 3 m/s².
