If a car accelerates from 0 m/s to 120 m/s in 6 seconds, what is the acceleration of the car?

Given:
u= 0m/s
v= 120 m/s
t= 6s

v=u+at
120 = 0 + 6a

120 = 6a

Dividing both sides by 6
We get,

a= 20 m/s^2

Hope this helps you!

Answer:

20 m/second squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity of the car (u) = 0 m/s

Final Velocity of the car (v) = 120 m/s

Time (t) = 6 seconds


Acceleration \: of \: the \: car = (v - u)/(t) \\ \\ = (120 - 0)/(6) \\ \\ = (120)/(6) \\ \\ = 20 \: m {s}^( - 2)
