Question

If your car goes from 0 mi/h to 80 mi/h in 5 s, what is your average acceleration?

Answer in units of miles/ h · s

Answer 1

acceleration is 16 mi/h*s

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration is calculated as the change in speed divided the time it takes to produce the change. Therefore, in our case we have:

a = (vf - vi)/ t = (80 - 0) /5 = 16 mi/h*s
