A sports car accelerates from rest for 5 seconds reaching a velocity of 23.0 m/s. a. What is the acceleration of the car?
Known:
t=
vi =
vf=
Unknown:
a =?
Equation:
vf=vi tat

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

Since the body is from rest u = 0

From the question we have

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
