Did the car accelerate to 30 miles per second? That is quite a fast car!
The formula for average acceleration is (change in velocity) divided by (change in time).
I hope this helps.
a racing car accelerates from rest to 30m/s in 6.0s what is her average acceleration?
the answer in the book is 0.5m/s^2

you have two ordered pairs of the form (t,v)
namely (0,0) and (6,30)
average acceleration = change in velocity / change in time
= (30-0)/(6-0) (m/s) / s
= 5 m/s^2
I suspect a typo in your book
