To find the acceleration of the car, we can use the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

\[
s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2
\]

Where:
- \( s \) is the distance covered (100 m)
- \( u \) is the initial velocity (0 m/s, since the car starts from rest)
- \( a \) is the acceleration (which we need to find)
- \( t \) is the time (1 second)

Since the car starts from rest (\( u = 0 \)), the equation simplifies to:

\[
s = \frac{1}{2} a t^2
\]

Substituting the known values into the equation:

\[
100 = \frac{1}{2} a (1^2)
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
100 = \frac{1}{2} a
\]

To isolate \( a \), multiply both sides by 2:

\[
200 = a
\]

Thus, the acceleration of the car is:

\[
a = 200 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]
