Question

Calculate the acelerationof a car (in km/h/s)) that can gofrom rest to 100 km/h in 10 seconds

Answer 1

The acceleration can be calculated as:

$\text{acceleration}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

Where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity and t is the time. So, replacing vf by 100 km/h, vi by 0 km/h, and t by 10 seconds, we get:

$\text{accelaration}=\frac{100\operatorname{km}/h-0\operatorname{km}/h}{10s}=10\operatorname{km}/h/s$

Answer: 10 km/h/s
