Answer:
Acceleration, [tex]a=8\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity of the car, u = 0
Final velocity of the car, v = 40 m/s
Time taken, t = 5 s
Let a is the acceleration of the car. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :
v = u + at
v = at
40 = a × 5
[tex]a=8\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the car is [tex]8\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
