Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time The car starts at 0 and accelerates to 60 m/s, which makes the change in velocity: 60 m/s - 0 m/s = 60 m/s The car took 2.5 seconds to reach the 60 m/s velocity so the time taken equals 2.5 s. We enter these numbers into the formula: acceleration = 60 m/s ÷ 2.5 s acceleration = 24 m/s²
