Answer:

The acceleration of a car would be:  [tex]a=12.8[/tex] m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity = [tex]v_1=0[/tex] m/s

Final velocity = [tex]v_f=100[/tex] m/s

Time elapsed = [tex]t = 7.8[/tex] s

To determine

We need to determine the acceleration of a car.

We know that acceleration is basically the rate of change in velocity over time.

Thus,

We can determine the acceleration using the formula

[tex]\:\:\:a=\:\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]

where

  • [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration
  • [tex]v_1[/tex] is the initial velocity
  • [tex]v_f[/tex] is the final velocity
  • [tex]t[/tex] is time elapsed

now substituting the values [tex]v_1=0[/tex],  [tex]v_f=100[/tex], and [tex]t = 7.8[/tex] in the formula

[tex]\:\:\:a=\:\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]

[tex]a=\:\frac{100-0}{7.8}[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{100}{7.8}[/tex]

[tex]a=12.8[/tex] m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of a car would be:  [tex]a=12.8[/tex] m/s²
