Question

The initial velocity of a car moving along a straight path was 0 meters/second. After 10 seconds, it reached a velocity of 25 meters/second. Calculate the car’s average acceleration during this time period.

Answer 1

The answer is 2.5 m/s^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average acceleration is (final velocity - Initial velocity) ÷ time.

Answer 2

a = (v-u)/t
a = (25-0)/10
a = 25/10
a = 2.5m/s/s
