Answer:
a = 7.6\ mph/s
Explanation:
Motion With Constant Acceleration
It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.
The equation that describes the change of velocities is:
[tex]v_f=v_o+at[/tex]
Where:
a = acceleration
vo = initial speed
vf = final speed
t = time
Solving the equation [for a:
[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}[/tex]
The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:
[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}[/tex]
a = 7.6\ mph/s
