Question

How fast is a car accelerating if it went from 0 to 96.56 km/hr in 3.5 seconds?

Answer 1

• Initial velocity=u=0m/s
• Final velocity=v=96.56km/h

Convert to m/s

`\\ \tt\longmapsto v=96.56* (5)/(18)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto v=26.8m/s`

• Time=t=3.5s

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=(v-u)/(t)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=(26.8-0)/(3.5)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=(26.8)/(3.5)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=7.6m/s^2`
