A car that was initially moving at 10 m/s is accelerated until its velocity reached 61 m/s. The change of the velocity took 6 s. What is the acceleration of the car in m/s^2? Please round your answer to two decimal places.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 8.50 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity = 10 m/s

Final velocity = 61 m/s

Time = 6 s

We need to calculate the acceleration of the car

Using equation of motion

[tex]v=u+at[/tex].....(I)

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

Where, u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

t = time

Put the value in the equation (I)

[tex]a=\dfrac{61-10}{6}[/tex]

[tex]a=8.50\ m/s^2[/tex]

Hence, The acceleration of the car is 8.50 m/s²
