if a race cars velocity increases from 4 m/s to 36 m/s over a 4 s time interval, it average acceleration would be 10 m/s2.

would this be true or false ?

acceleration= (finalvelocity-initial)/time

sooo would this be true ?

no it would be false

If a race car’s velocity increases from 4 m/s to 36 m/s over a 4 s time interval, its average acceleration would be 10 m/s2.

true

This statement is false. To determine the average acceleration, you need to calculate the change in velocity and divide it by the change in time.

In this case, the change in velocity is 36 m/s - 4 m/s = 32 m/s, and the change in time is 4 s.

To find the average acceleration, divide the change in velocity by the change in time:

Average acceleration = (Change in velocity) / (Change in time)
Average acceleration = 32 m/s / 4 s
Average acceleration = 8 m/s^2

So, the correct average acceleration is 8 m/s^2, not 10 m/s^2.
