A car travels in a straight line for 4.6 h at a
constant speed of 95 km/h .
What is its acceleration?
constant speed? acceleration is zero.
11.6
To find the acceleration of the car, we need to know the change in velocity and the time taken for this change to occur. However, in this case, the car is traveling at a constant speed of 95 km/h, which means there is no change in velocity and consequently no acceleration.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and if the velocity is constant, there is no change, so the acceleration would be zero.
