Answer:
Acceleration = 5.3645 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, u = 0mph
Final velocity, v = 60 mph
Time, t = 5 seconds
To find the acceleration (also used in the second law of motion), we would use the following formula;
A = (v - u)/t
Conversion:
Miles per hour to meters per seconds;
0 mph = 0 mps
1 mph = 0.44704 mps
60 mph = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.8224 mps
Next, we find the acceleration;
Acceleration = (26.8224 - 0)/5
Acceleration = 26.8224/5
Acceleration = 5.3645 m/s²
