A European sports car dealer claims that his car will accelerate at a constant rate from rest to 100 km/hr in 8.00 s. If so, what is the acceleration? (Hint: First convert speed to m/s.)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the acceleration, first convert 100 km/hr to m/s: 100 km/hr = 100,000 m/3600 s = 27.78 m/s. Then use the formula for acceleration: a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time = (27.78 m/s - 0 m/s) / 8.00 s = 3.47 m/s².
