Acceleration of a Sports Car from Rest to 24 m/s in 6 Seconds
What is the acceleration of a sports car that accelerates uniformly from rest to 24 m/s in 6 seconds?
Choose one:
a) 4m/s^2
b) 6m/s^2
c) 8m/s^2
Answer:
a) 4m/s^2
When a sports car accelerates uniformly from rest to 24 m/s in 6 seconds, the acceleration of the car is 4 m/s².
The acceleration can be calculated using the formula:
Acceleration (a) = Change in velocity (V) / Time taken (t)
Given that the final velocity V is 24 m/s and the time taken t is 6 seconds, the acceleration can be calculated as follows:
a = V/t
a = 24/6
a = 4 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the sports car is 4m/s^2.
