The acceleration of the car, given the data is 4 m/s²
What is acceleration?
This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as
a = (v – u) / t
Where
- a is the acceleration
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity
- t is the time
How to determine the acceleration of the car
The following data were obtained from the question:
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Time (t) = 5 s
- Distance (s) = 50 m
- Acceleration (a) =?
s = ut + ½gt²
50 = (0 × 5) + (½ × a × 5²)
50 = 0 + (½ × a × 25)
50 = 12.5a
Divide both sides by 12.5
a = 50 / 12.5
a = 4 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the car is 4 m/s²
