calculate the acceleration of a car from rest that travels at 24m/s due east in 30s
given: vi=0 ( from rest- means its initial velocity in 0m/s)
vf= 24m/s
T= 30s
required: acceleration or "a"


Sagot :

Solution and answer:

Step 1: Recall the formula of acceleration.

[tex]a = \frac{v_{f} -v_{i}}{t}[/tex]

where Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial, t is the time, and a is the acceleration.

Step 2: Substitute the given terms.

[tex]a = \frac{(24m/s) -(0m/s)}{30s}[/tex]

Step 3: Find a.

[tex]a = \frac{24m/s}{30s}[/tex]

[tex]a = 0.8 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, we can conclude that the acceleartion of a car is at 0.8 m/s².
