Answer:


{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{Acceleration \: ( \: a) = 8 \: m/ {s \: }^(2) }}}}

Question :

  • A car starts from rest and is moving at 60.0 m/s after 7.50 s. What is the car's average acceleration ?


\underbrace{ \sf{Required \: Answer : }}

Given :

  • Initial velocity ( u ) = 0
  • Final velocity ( v ) = 60.0 m/s
  • Time ( t ) = 7.50 s

To find :

  • Acceleration ( a )

We know ,


\boxed{ \underline{ \bold{ \sf{Acceleration \: ( \: a) = (Final velocity ( v ) - Initial velocity ( u))/(t) }}}}

Substitute the values and solve for a.


\sf{a = (60.0 - 0)/(7.50)}


\sf{a = (60.0)/(7.50)}


\boxed{ \boxed{ \sf{a = 8 \: m/ {s \: }^(2) }}}

---------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Info :

  • When a certain object comes in motion from rest , in the case , initial velocity ( u ) = 0
  • When a moving object comes in rest , in the case , final velocity ( v ) = 0
  • If the object is moving with uniform velocity , in the case , u = v.
  • If any object is thrown vertically upwards in the case , a = -g
  • When an object is falling from certain height , in the case , final velocity at maximum height ( v ) = 0.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time ツ
