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.
