For a standard production car, the highest roadtested acceleration ever reported occurred in 1993, when a Ford RS200 Evolution went from zero to 26.8 m/s (60 mph) in 3.275 s. Find the magnitude of the car's acceleration.

a=8.1832m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=initial speed=0m/s

Vf=final speed=26.8m/s

t=time=3.275s

the vehicle moves with a constant acceleration therefore we can use the following equation

A=aceleration = (Vf-Vi) / t

A = (26.8m/s-0m/s) / 3.275s=8.1832m/s^2

the magnitude of the car's aceleration is 8.1832m/s^2
