Question

Compute the acceleration of a car that starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 60 kilometers per hour in 10 seconds

Answer 1

The acceleration is 1.67 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed, s = 60km/hr

s =
`60 X (1000)/(3600)` m/s

s = 16.67 m/s

Time, t = 10 seconds

Acceleration, a = ?

We know:

`Acceleration = (speed)/(time)`

On substituting the value, we get:

`a = (16.67)/(10) \\\\a = 1.67 m/s^2`

Therefore, the acceleration is 1.67 m/s²
