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.
