A car is traveling south at 8.77 m/s. It then begins a uniform acceleration until it reaches a velocity of 47.8 m/s over a period of 3.84s. What is the car's acceleration? Please help !

The acceleration of the car is 10.16m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Initial velocity = 8.77m/s

   Final velocity = 47.8m/s

   Time duration  = 3.84s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car = ?

Solution:

To find the acceleration, we must bear in mind that this physical quantity is the change in velocity with time;

     Acceleration  =

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

T is the time taken

  Input the parameters and solve for acceleration;

      Acceleration  =   = 10.16m/s²

The acceleration of the car is 10.16m/s²

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.
