10 m/s in 10

3. A car accelerates from 0 m/s to 50 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the acceleration?

5ms⁻²

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of car (at t=0) u=0 m/s

Final velocity of car (after 10 sec) v=50 m/s

Time taken (t) = 10 sec.

acceleration (a) = ?

now,

v = u + at

at = v-u

a = (v-u) / t

a = (50-0) / 10

a = (50/10)

a=5 ms⁻²
