A car is traveling in a race. The car went from the initial velocity of 35 m/s to the final velocity of 65 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration?

–13 m/s2
–6 m/s2
6 m/s2
13 m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (65 m/s − 35 m/s) / 5 s

a = 6 m/s²

The acceleration will be "6 m/s²".

According to the question,

  • Initial velocity = 35 m/s
  • Final velocity = 65 m/s
  • Change in velocity, [tex]\Delta v = 65 - 35[/tex]

                                                [tex]= 30 \ m/s[/tex]

  • Change in time, [tex]\Delta t = 5 \ s[/tex]  

Now,

The acceleration (a) is:

= [tex]\frac{Change \ in \ velocity}{Change \ in \ time}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{30}{5}[/tex]

= [tex]6 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus the response above is right.
