Answer :
[tex] \Large {\underline { \sf {Required \; Solution :}}}[/tex]
We have ―
- Initial velocity, u = 18 m/s
- Final velocity, v = 30 m/s
- Time taken, t = 3 seconds
We've been asked to calculate acceleration.
[tex]\qquad \implies\boxed{\red{\sf{ a = \dfrac{v-u}{t} }}}\\[/tex]
- a denotes acceleration
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- t denotes time
[tex] \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf {a = \dfrac{30-18}{3} \; ms^{-2} } \\ [/tex]
[tex] \twoheadrightarrow \quad \sf {a =\cancel{ \dfrac{12}{3} \; ms^{-2} }} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\twoheadrightarrow \quad \boxed{\red{\sf{ a = 4 \; ms^{-2} }}}\\[/tex]
Therefore, acceleration of the car is 4 m/s².
