Question #f8288 Physics 1D Motion Displacement and Velocity 1 Answer A08 Apr 27, 2016 #3.0xx10^4 " miles" " hour"^-2# Explanation: Let us use the expression between velocity, time #t# and acceleration #a#, assuming a constant force is applied during the interval. #v=u+at# where #v# is final velocity and #u# is initial velocity of car. Substituting given values #60=0+axx7.2/3600#, seconds to be converted to hours. Solving for #a# #a=60xx3600/7.2=30000# #=3.0xx10^4 " miles" " hour"^-2# Answer link Related questions What is the difference between distance and displacement?
