A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity
of 6.03 m/s at some instant. After 6.89 s, its
velocity is 10.6 m/s.
What is its average acceleration in this time
interval?

To find the average acceleration of the car, we can use the formula:
Average acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 6.03 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 10.6 m/s
Time (t) = 6.89 s
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Average acceleration = (10.6 m/s - 6.03 m/s) / 6.89 s
Simplifying the equation:
Average acceleration = 4.57 m/s / 6.89 s
Evaluating the division:
Average acceleration = 0.663 m/s^2
Therefore, the average acceleration of the car in this time interval is 0.663 m/s^2.
