15/2.5= 6 miles per second

Answer:

Acceleration, a = 6 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of car is 0 at it starts from rest.

Final velocity of car, v = 15 m/s

Time taken by the car, t = 2.5 s

We have to find the acceleration of the car. It is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Mathematically, it can be written as :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{15\ m/s-0}{2.5\ s}[/tex]

a = 6 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the car is 6 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.
