The acceleration of the car can be determined by calculating the change in velocity over a given time interval. When the velocity remains constant (does not change), the acceleration is 0.
Looking at the data table, we can see that the velocity remains constant at 13 m/s between 600 and 1800 seconds. Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 600 to 1800 seconds.
The data table shows the velocity of a car every 10 minutes (600 seconds) for an hour (3600 seconds).
Time (seconds) Velocity (meters per second)
0 0
600 13
1200 13
1800 13
2400 33
3000 6
3600 0
