The acceleration of the car is [tex]8.9 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is given by
[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
Here we have to convert the initial and final velocity of the vehicle into SI units. So we have:
[tex]u = 0[/tex] is the initial velocity
[tex]v=100 mph \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=44.7 m/s[/tex] is the final velocity
t = 5 s is the time elapsed
Solving for a, we find the acceleration:
[tex]a=\frac{44.7-0}{5}=8.9 m/s^2[/tex]
