To find the acceleration, we can use the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given:
final velocity (Vf) = 15 m/s
initial velocity (Vi) = 5 m/s
time (t) = 2 s
Let's substitute these values into the formula:
acceleration = (15 m/s - 5 m/s) / 2 s
acceleration = 10 m/s / 2 s
acceleration = 5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 5 m/s².
