A car begins at rest (0 velocity), 5 seconds later it is travelling at 20 meters/per second. What was the acceleration of the vehicle during these 5 seconds

Please help ASAP

Answer:

Initial velocity(u)=0

Final velocity(v) =20 meters/ second

Time(t)=5

Acceleration (a)=?

a=v-u/t

a=20-0/5

a=20/5

a=4meters/second

use the formula

v= u+ at

v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time

put the values

20 = 0+ a×5

a = 4 m/s²
