A car starts from rest (vi = 0) and uniformly accelerates to vf = 36 m/s in 12 s as it travels along a straight road. What is the acceleration of the car in m/s2?
Added by Jeremy J.
Step 1
First, we need to identify the given values: - Initial velocity (vi) = 0 m/s - Final velocity (vf) = 36 m/s - Time taken (t) = 12 s We can use the formula for uniform acceleration to find the acceleration (a): a = (vf - vi) / t Substituting the given values: a = Show more…
