Given:
Initial velocity: 10 m/s
Final velocity: 30 m/s
Time: 10s
Determine the car's acceleration.
Acceleration formula:
a = delta v / t
a = change in v /t
a = final velocity - initial velocity /time
Solution:
Substitute the given values in order to find for the acceleration.
a = delta v / t
a = 30 m/s - 10 m/s /10s
a = 20 m/s /10
a = 2 m/s^2
Final answer:
a = 2 m/s^2
