Question

ThrustSSC, the world's first supersonic car, accelerates from rest to 1000 km/h in 16 s.

Answer 1

The acceleration of the supersonic car is
`17.36\ m/s^2`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the supersonic car, u = 0

Final speed of the supersonic car, v = 1000 km/h =

Time taken, t = 16 s

To find,

The acceleration of the car.

Solution,

The change in velocity per unit time of an object is called its acceleration. It is given by :

`a=(v-u)/(t)`

`a=(v)/(t)`

`a=(277.77\ m/s)/(16\ s)`

`a=17.36\ m/s^2`

So, the acceleration of the supersonic car is
`17.36\ m/s^2`. Therefore, this is the required solution.
