Question 1186550
..
If a race car crosses the finish line going 25m/s. What was the acceleration of the car 
if the race car started at rest and took 5s to reach the finish line?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
We consider a uniformly accelerated car, which moves with acceleration " a " m/s^2  (the value of "a" is unknown now).


We are given the time t = 5 s  and the final speed  v = 25 m/s.


From this data, we find acceleration  a = {{{v/t}}} = {{{25/5}}} = 5 m/s.    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.
