You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Acceleration measures the change of an object's velocity. In the problem, the car's velocity remains at 50km/hr from
the beginning to the end of the 30 seconds. Since there is no change of velocity, there is no acceleration. a=0.
I have attached work explaining the solution below.
