Answer:

Average acceleration of the car is 1.167 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of car with which it is travelling is 12 m/s

As the driver accelerates the car, the speed reaches 26 m/s

The change in speed in 12 seconds is

26 -12 = 14 m/s

Average acceleration is change in speed divided by time


(14)/(12) \\1.167 m/s^2
