A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the driver accelerates so that the car is going 10 m/s after 5s. What is the car’s average acceleration?
a = (V-Vo)/t = (10-0)/5 = 2 m/s^2.
a Nissan Sentra is stopped at a traffic Light when the light turns green the driver accelerate so that the speedmeter reads 10m/s after 5 seconds what is the car's acceleration assuming it is constant
Well, I'm glad the car is following the rules and waiting for the green light! Now, let me put on my clown nose and calculate the average acceleration for you.
To find the average acceleration, we can use the formula:
Average acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given that the car's final velocity is 10 m/s, the initial velocity is 0 m/s (because it's stopped), and the time is 5 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Average acceleration = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5 s
And voila!
The car's average acceleration is 2 m/s². Just remember, it's always best to drive safely and clown around responsibly!
To find the car's average acceleration, we can use the formula:
average acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
In this case, the change in velocity is from 0 m/s (stopped) to 10 m/s (after 5 seconds). Therefore:
change in velocity = 10 m/s - 0 m/s = 10 m/s
The time taken is given as 5 seconds.
Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
average acceleration = 10 m/s / 5 s = 2 m/s²
Therefore, the car's average acceleration is 2 m/s².
To find the car's average acceleration, we need to use the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (since the car is initially stopped)
Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
Time (t) = 5 s
Plugging these values into the formula:
acceleration = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5 s
Simplifying:
acceleration = 10 m/s / 5 s
Calculating:
acceleration = 2 m/s²
Therefore, the car's average acceleration is 2 m/s².
