Question

A drag racer accelerated from 0 m/s to 200 m/s in 5 s.what was the acceleration

Answer 1

a = 40m\s^2

Explanation:

acceleration is the change of velocity in a certain time interval, which means that it is equal to ( V final - V initial ) \ t

so acceleration here is ( 200 - 0 ) \ 5

which is equal to: 40 m\s^2 and that means that the racer is speeding up by 40 meters each second

Hope it helps! :)

Answer 2

40 m/s/s.

Explanation:

Acceleration = velocity / time

= 200 / 5

= 40 m/s/s.
