A car initially at rest undergoes uniform acceleration for 6.32 seconds and covers a distance of 120 meters. What is the approximate acceleration of the car?

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for acceleration is

[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}[/tex]. We have the initial velocity since we are told that the car started from rest. What we don't have is the final velocity. But we can find it because we were told that the car undergoes uniform acceleration, so the equation

d = rt will give us that final velocity.

120 = r(6.32) so the velocity or rate of the car is

r = 19 m/s. Plug that in to find the acceleration of the car:

[tex]a=\frac{19-0}{6.32}[/tex] so

a = 3.0 m/s/s
