a car is traveling in a race. the car went from the inital velocity of 35 m/s to the final velocity of 65 m/s in 5 seconds. what is the acceleration?

Explanation:

Acceleration is given through the equation,

a

=

v

−

u

t

where:

v

is the final velocity of the object

u

is the initial velocity of the object

t

is the time taken

Here, since the car was at rest, it was stationary, and so

u

=

0

.

∴

a

=

v

t

=

27
