  • Calculating Uniform Acceleration: Car Velocity Increase
    Here's how to calculate the uniform acceleration:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Uniform acceleration: This means the acceleration is constant over time.

    * Initial velocity (v₀): The velocity the car starts with (32 m/s).

    * Final velocity (v): The velocity the car reaches after 8 seconds (96 m/s).

    * Time (t): The duration of the acceleration (8.0 seconds).

    Formula

    The formula for uniform acceleration is:

    * a = (v - v₀) / t

    where:

    * a = acceleration

    * v = final velocity

    * v₀ = initial velocity

    * t = time

    Calculation

    1. Plug in the values:

    a = (96 m/s - 32 m/s) / 8.0 s

    2. Simplify:

    a = 64 m/s / 8.0 s

    3. Calculate:

    a = 8 m/s²

    Answer: The uniform acceleration is 8 m/s².
