If a car slows from 15 m/s to 5 m/s over 5 seconds, what was the car's acceleration?

-2 ms⁻²

Explanation:

Here,

Initial velocity (u) = 15 ms⁻¹

Final velocity (v) = 5 ms⁻¹

Time (t) = 5 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Formula:

a =  (v-u)/t

⇒ a = (5-15)/5

⇒ a = -10/5

⇒a  = -2

∴acceleration of the the car was -2 ms⁻²

Note:

The answer is negative because of decreasing the velocity . That means it is  deceleration.

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.
