Answer:
Acceleration of the car, [tex]a=1.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of the car, u = 18 m/s
Final speed of the car, v = 30 m/s
Time taken, t = 8 s
We need to find the acceleration of the car. Let it is given by a. It can be calculated using the first equation of motion.
[tex]v=u+at[/tex]
Where
a is the acceleration of the car.
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{30-18}{8}[/tex]
[tex]a=1.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the magnitude of the car's acceleration is [tex]1.5\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
