Answer:
Initial velocity, u = 60 km/h = 16.7 m/s
Final velocity, v = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
time, t = 2 sec
From first equation of motion:
[tex]{ \bf{v = u + at}}[/tex]
Substitute the variables:
[tex]{ \tt{20 = 16.7 + (a \times 2)}} \\ { \tt{2a = 3.3}} \\ { \tt{acceleration = 1.65 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}[/tex]
