Question

A car initially moving at 4 m/s accelerates to a new velocity of 10 m/s in a time of 3
seconds. What was the acceleration of the car?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

Initial velocity (u) = 4m/s

Final velocity (v) = 10m/s.

Time(t) = 3s

Acceleration (a) = ?

We know;

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Keep all values.

$a = \frac{10 - 4}{3}$

Simplify it.

$a = \frac{6}{3}$

Therefore, acceleration is 2m/s^2.

Hope it helps....
