The velocity of a car changes from 10 m/s east to 30 m/s east in 4 seconds.
What is the acceleration of the car?
A. 5 m/s2 east
B. 10 m/s2 west
c. 10 m/s2 east
D. 5 m/s2 west

Respuesta :

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 10m/s due east

Final velocity  = 30m/s due east

Time = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

Mathematically;

 Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]  

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Insert the parameters and solve;

  Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{30 - 10}{4}[/tex]   = 5m/s²
