A Car Accelerates Uniformly from Rest to 23 m/s

Acceleration of the Car

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 23 m/s over 0.29 minutes. What is the acceleration of the car?

Answer:

1.322 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the first equation of linear motion, we can calculate the acceleration.

v = u + at

Making a the subject of the formula,

a = (v - u) / t

a = (23 - 0) / 0.29 x 60

Acceleration = 1.322 m/s²

What is the acceleration of the car? 1.322 m/s²
