Calculate the acceleration of a car (in km/h/s) that can go from rest to 100 km/h in 10 s.
Theacceleration of a car for a given velocity and time.
Answer to Problem 32A
The acceleration of the car is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A car initially at rest accelerates to a final velocity of 100 km/h in 10 s.
Formula used:
The equation of motion which determines the acceleration of an object with an initial velocity and final velocity and for a given time is,
Calculation:
Here the car starts from rest, its initial velocity is
Conclusion :
The acceleration of the car for the given conditions is
