Question

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 7.25 seconds for a distance of 210 m. Determine the acceleration of the car. What is the variable Vi equal to?

Answer 1

Acceleration is 7.990487515m/s²

Initial velocity is 0m.s

Step-by-step explanation:

s=ut+(1/2)at²

210=0(7.25)+(1/2)a(7.25²)

210=26.28125a

∴a=7.990487515m/s²

'Vi' or 'u' is the inital speed. Since it starts from rest, this equals 0.
