Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

Question regarding acceleration: The correct answer is: c. the rate of change of velocity.

---

Question regarding the toy car's final velocity: Using the formula \( Vf = Vi + a \cdot t \), where:

• \( Vi = 5.0 , \text{m/s} \) (initial velocity)
• \( a = 2.0 , \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration)
• \( t = 6.0 , \text{s} \) (time)

We can calculate the final velocity:

\[ Vf = 5.0 , \text{m/s} + (2.0 , \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 6.0 , \text{s}) \ Vf = 5.0 , \text{m/s} + 12.0 , \text{m/s} \ Vf = 17.0 , \text{m/s} \]

So, the correct answer is: d. 17 m/s.

Question regarding acceleration due to gravity: The correct answer is: d. free-fall acceleration.
