The velocity of a car traveling in a straight line increases from 0 meters/second to 30 meters/second in 8 seconds. what is the average acceleration of the car? a. 3.75 meters/second b. 3.75 meters/second2 c. 0.27 meters/second2 d. 0.27 meters/second

B. 3.75 meters/second2

Explanation:

The velocity of a car traveling in a straight line increases from 0 meters/second to 30 meters/second in 8 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car;

acceleration = (change in velocity)/(change in time)

acceleration = ( 30 - 0)/(8)

acceleration = 3.75 meters/second2
