Question
A 1,500 kg car is at rest on a level track. The driver gives the engine gas and the car begins to accelerate forward. The car moves from 0 m/s to 27 m/s in 8 sec. What is the acceleration of the car?
Answer:
3.375 m/s²
Explanation:
Using equation of motion:
v = u + at
Here, v = 27m/s & u = 0m/s & t = 8 sec
Let the acceleration be a.
=> 27 = 0 + 8(a)
=> 27/8 = a
=> 3.375 m/s²
