A car moving south speeds up from 10m/s to 40m/s in 15 seconds what is the cars acceleration

• 2m/s
• 15m/s
• 30m/s
• 50m/s

Respuesta :

The acceleration of the car will be 2m/s².Option A is correct. According to Newton's second law, the eventual effect of all forces applied to a body is its acceleration.

What is acceleration?

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration.

Given data;

Initial velocity,u=10m/s

Final velocity,v=40m/s

Time elapsed,t=15 seconds

To find ;

Acceleration, a

The acceleration when the change in the velocity is observed by the formula as:

[tex]\rm a= \frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

Substitute the given values:

[tex]\rm a= \frac{40-10}{15} \\\\ a=\frac{30}{15} \\\\ a=2 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The car's acceleration will be 2 m/s².

Hence, option A is correct.
