To find the car's acceleration, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for "a":
v = v0 + at
We are given that the initial velocity, v0, is 0 km/h (since the car starts from rest). The final velocity, v, is 100 km/h, and the time, t, is 4 seconds. Plugging these values into the equation, we have:
100 km/h = 0 km/h + a * 4 seconds
Simplifying the equation:
100 km/h = 4a
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
25 km/hr/s = a
Therefore, the car's acceleration is 25 km/hr/s.
Use the equation to answer the question.
v = v0 + at
A car company advertises that a certain model of car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration?
