Acceleration of a Sports Car from Rest to 24 m/s in 6 Seconds

What is the acceleration of a sports car that accelerates uniformly from rest to 24 m/s in 6 seconds?

Choose one:

a) 4m/s^2

b) 6m/s^2

c) 8m/s^2

Answer:

a) 4m/s^2

When a sports car accelerates uniformly from rest to 24 m/s in 6 seconds, the acceleration of the car is 4 m/s².

The acceleration can be calculated using the formula:

Acceleration (a) = Change in velocity (V) / Time taken (t)

Given that the final velocity V is 24 m/s and the time taken t is 6 seconds, the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

a = V/t

a = 24/6

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the sports car is 4m/s^2.
