A car starts from rest acquires a velocity of 180 m/s² in 0.05m/s². Find the acceleration

Answer»

Correct QUESTION :

  • A car starts from rest acquires a velocity of 180 m/s in 0.05 h. Find the acceleration.

AnsWer :

  • We're GIVEN that, a car start from the rest i.e initial velocity (u) will be 0 m/s and aquires a velocity of 180 m/s i.e final velocity (v) is 180 m/s and time interval (t) is 0.05 h.
  • We're asked to find the Acceleration (a) of the car.

We can solve this question by using two methods/formulas :

  • Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)/time interval
  • By using FIRST equation of motion :- v = u + at

So, you can USE both methods to solve this question. Here, I will use the second method i.e by using first kinematical equation of motion :

v = u + at

Here,

  • v = final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • a = Acceleration
  • t = time interval

Plug in the known values in above given FORMULA:

↠ 180 = 0 + a(0.05 × 3600)

↠ 180 = a(180)

↠ a = 180/180

a = 1 m/s²

The Acceleration (a) of the car is 1 m/.
