Accelerating Car Calculation Exercise

Question:

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s. What is the acceleration of the car?

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 1.015 m/s².

The acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:

acceleration = change in velocity / time

In this case, the change in velocity is 6.6 m/s and the time taken is 6.5 s. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

acceleration = 6.6 m/s / 6.5 s = 1.015 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.015 m/s².
