A car that starts from rest with a constant acceleration travels 50 m in the first 5 s. the car's acceleration is:_________



Answer :

Eduard22sly

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
