Question

A race car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30.0 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the vehicle's acceleration?

Answer 1

Acceleration = 6 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 30 m/s

Time taken t = 5 second

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

v = u + at

30 = 0 + (a)(5)

30 = 5a

Acceleration = 30 / 5

Acceleration = 6 m/s²
