Answer:
1.59 m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
Acceleration = change in Velocity over time. Mathematically it is represented as Δv/Δt
Given values in the question:
- Final velocity 203.0 km/h which is equal to (203/3.6)m/s = 56.39 m/s
- distance 2000 m
- Initial velocity is 0 m/s
To use the equation for acceleration time is needed.
velocity= distance/time
(203/3.6) = 2000/time mltiplying both sides by time
(203/3.6) x time = 2000 making time subject of the formula
time = 2000/(203/3.6)
time = 35.47 seconds
Substituting into the acceleration equation
acceleration =Δv/Δt
=(56.39- 0)/35.47
= 56.39/35.47
=1.59 m/s²
