Answer:
[tex] \therefore [/tex] The acceleration of the car is 0.75 m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the problem, we can see that the car is moving 112m/s and it change it to 118 m/s. Therefore, we must use the formula:
- [tex] \boxed{\bold{a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}}}[/tex]
Where:
- a is the acceleration
- [tex] v_f [/tex] is the final velocity
- [tex] v_i [/tex] is the initial velocity
- t is the time
First thing we gotta do is subtract the final velocity to initial velocity then after subtracting, we divide the difference to the time to get the acceleration.
[tex] a = \frac{118 - 112}{8} [/tex]
[tex] a = \frac{6}{8} [/tex]
[tex] a = 0.75 [/tex]
[tex] \therefore [/tex] The acceleration of the car is 0.75 m/s²
