Understanding the Concepts

* Uniform Acceleration: This means the car's speed increases at a constant rate.

* Distance, Acceleration, and Time: We can use the following kinematic equation to relate these quantities:

* d = v₀t + (1/2)at²

* d = distance

* v₀ = initial velocity (0 m/s in this case since the car starts at rest)

* t = time

* a = acceleration

Solving the Problem

1. Set up the equation:

* 120 m = (0 m/s)(6.32 s) + (1/2)a(6.32 s)²

2. Simplify:

* 120 m = (1/2)a(39.9424 s²)

3. Solve for acceleration (a):

* a = (120 m * 2) / 39.9424 s²

* a ≈ 6.01 m/s²

Answer: The approximate acceleration of the car is 6.01 m/s².
