A car is at a stop light. The light turns green. Over the next 2 seconds, the car goes from 0m/s to 10m/s. What is the acceleration of the car?
The acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:
Acceleration (a) = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
In this case, the initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s, the final velocity (v) is 10 m/s, and the time (t) is 2 seconds.
So, the acceleration (a) can be calculated as:
a = (v - u) / t
a = (10 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2 s
a = 10 m/s / 2 s
a = 5 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 5 m/s^2.
