  • Calculating Acceleration: Car from 0 to 60 km/h in 10 Seconds
    Here's how to calculate the acceleration:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Acceleration: The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

    * Formula: Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)

    Calculations

    1. Convert km/h to m/s:

    * 60 km/h * (1000 m / 1 km) * (1 h / 3600 s) = 16.67 m/s

    2. Apply the formula:

    * a = (16.67 m/s - 0 m/s) / 10 s

    * a = 1.67 m/s²

    Answer: The acceleration of the car is 1.67 m/s².
